Jewish Heritage of Berlin - Full day tour

Get to know Berlin's Jewish history with the help of a private guide. This comprehensive walking tour takes in must-see landmarks such as the Neue Synagoge and Holocaust Memorial along with the Mitte neighborhood's quirky Scheunenviertel and architecture-rich Hackesche Höfe districts. As in all of my tours, we start with a hotel pickup and you can choose your preferred start time for an experience that's tailored to you. Throughout history, Germany, including Berlin, excluded the Jews from normal life, but the Jews insisted and eventually received full rights as citizens. From isolated ghettos and communities, the Jews climbed to an influential social position in the economy, science, culture and the new emerging democratic politics of Germany until the Nazis took power. The tour will tell the amazing story of the Jews in Germany and the Nazi attempt to eradicate them from Europe. This tour includes a visit to the impressive and moving Platform 17 (Gleis 17) memorial for the deportation of Berlin's jews.
