Overview of your Berlin tour:

Berlin was once one of the great Jewish cities in the world, a third of all Jews in Germany lived in Berlin. Jews were present already in the Middle ages and with the Enlightenment under Moses Mendelssohn jewish life started to flourish. This comes to an end with the nazi dictatorship and the horrors of the Holocaust where some 55. 000 Berlin Jews were deported and murdered in concentration camps. Today the Jewish community has made an remarkable recovery and is one of the fastest growing in the world.

Your Berlin tour itinerary

- We will visit the oldest of Berlin's Jewish cemeteries - along the same street we also see the first Jewish home for the elderly as well as a Jewish Boys School that both were confiscated by the Nazis and converted into assembly camps. - We will marvel at the beauty of the New Synagogue as well as visit the site where Berlin's first Synagogue was established in 1714. Today along the same street a memorial to the nonviolent protest that was held in February and March 1943, which was carried out by the non-Jewish wives and relatives of Jewish men who had been arrested for deportation. - We hear stories and see places where non-Jews risked their lives in order to hide their Jewish neighbors; visit the Workshop for the Blind in which a courageous Berliner risked his life to save the lives of Jewish neighbors and employees.
