Hi, my name is Martin, and I'm a trained and certified Berlin Tour Guide with an MA from Bath...

Around 75 million people lost their lives during those 12 years of Nazi terror. Many of them in concentration camps and death camps. Resistance was scarce. And yet, it existed. There were people who did care, there were people who put their own lives and those of their loved ones in danger to do the right thing: saving lives! Many of these courageous resisters have since been included in Yad Vashem's avenue of "The Righteous among the Nations", but way too few people across the world have heard about them. This tour is meant to give them a face. And a name, and I invite you join me on this tour for you to learn more about this side of German history, and, especially, about the courage and decency of the people whose former houses we'll visit. The German Resistance has long been a focus of my research and studies, so with me as your guide you can be sure to get as much information on this topic as you could possibly want!
- We start out tour at Bundesplatz, from which we'll head towards the location of the house in which the eminent and brave Maria von Maltzan used to live, where she hid Jews and helped them emigrate. - Next, we'll take the U9 to take us to the house of Mod Helmy, an Egyptian-born surgeon. He famously hid several Jews in his apartment and is the only Arab-born to date to be included among the Righteous of the Nations. - Then we'll head into the district of Wedding where we visit the house of Elise and Otto Hampel whose courageous acts have since become world-famous with the re-publication of Fallada's book, "Alone in Berlin". - Following, we'll take the subway to explore the Workshop for the Blind run by Otto Weidt where he tried to save Jews from deportation. Lastly, let me introduce you to the Bendlerblock where Count Stauffenberg worked and which today is a memorial for the German Resistance. I am more than willing to customize this tour according to your preference. Please contact me for a custom tour
