“See the real Berlin for the next three months. Our Berlin. And then when you go back home, make sure the people there know exactly what’s happening in Germany. Not just the headline version, but what’s really happening. You can correct assumptions you hear, you can tell one person and they can tell one person and so on. Push back on bigotry even if you want to smooth it over. Eventually it will add up to something more than nothing, even if it isn’t the grand gesture your current emotions want you to make.”
