Jewish Heritage of Berlin - half day tour of Berlin's "Jewish Quarter"

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 Synagogue and Holocaust Memorial along with the Mitte neighborhood's quirky Scheunenviertel and architecture-rich Hackesche Höfe districts. 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 newly 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!
