In 2013, I passed through Berlin by accident—and never left. I’m Ben, a history teacher and certified tour guide, and even after all these years, I still find it incredible that I call this city home. Born and raised in Israel, I grew up with the idea of Germany as the "forbidden land" and Berlin as the "capital of evil." But perhaps that’s exactly what drew me here—the city's layers of history, its resilience, and its power to transform. As a scholar of European and German history, I initially thought Berlin would be just another stop on my journey. Instead, I found a city unlike any other—complex, fascinating, and impossible to ignore. That’s why I stayed. That’s why I became a guide. And that’s why I love sharing my knowledge and passion for Berlin with visitors from around the world. What You Can Expect on My Tours 🔹 History Comes Alive – Walk through Berlin’s most iconic landmarks and hidden gems as I bring the city’s history to life, from Prussian grandeur to the rise and fall of the Berlin Wall. 🔹 Jewish Heritage & Memory – As an expert on Jewish life and history, I provide an insider’s perspective on the past, present, and future of Jewish life in Berlin and Germany. 🔹 Beyond the Landmarks – Explore the stunning palaces of Potsdam, experience the vibrant energy of Kreuzberg’s street art scene, or embark on a food and culture tour that dives into Berlin’s diverse flavors. I also offer fully customized tours tailored to your interests. Why Tour With Me? ✅ Certified Berlin Tour Guide ✅ Certified Guide for Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Memorial ✅ Member of the Berlin Guides Association (Bündnis Berliner Stadtführer e.V.) ✅ 10+ years of experience guiding private and group tours ✅ Fluent in English & Hebrew Academic Credentials: 📖 M.A. in Political Economy (Labor Policies & Globalization) 📖 B.A in European History Whether you're visiting Berlin for the first time or returning for a deeper dive, I’d love to show you a side of the city that most tourists never see. Let’s explore Berlin together!

Overview of your Rostock tour

In the summer of 1936, Berlin welcomed the world as host of the Olympic Games. Airports were expanded, grand stadiums were built, and anti-Jewish banners were temporarily removed from the streets. The city presented itself as a symbol of unity, celebrating Olympic ideals of friendship, excellence, and respect among nations. But just 20 miles to the north, a very different reality was unfolding. As the world watched the Games, the SS was constructing a new concentration camp built with forced labor and designed to refine the Nazi system of oppression. Here, lessons from earlier camps were implemented with chilling efficiency, setting the stage for what would become an even more ruthless machinery of persecution. This is Sachsenhausen.

Your Rostock tour itinerary

This full-day tour begins with a morning pickup at Warnemünde cruise port followed by a three-hour drive to Sachsenhausen, one of the most significant sites in the Nazi concentration camp system. At the Sachsenhausen Memorial, we will spend 2.5 hours exploring its history, learning about the camp’s structure, the daily struggles of prisoners, forced labor, medical experiments, and "Station Z", the execution facility where thousands lost their lives. This visit is not about sightseeing—it is a chance to confront history, honor its victims, and deepen our understanding of the past. After leaving Sachsenhausen, we continue to Berlin, where you'll have time for lunch at a local restaurant before a short historical tour by van, connecting key sites to Germany’s complex history of war, division, and reunification. We will then return to Warnemünde, ensuring you arrive on time for your scheduled departure. **This tour can be tailored to your interests - please reach out for a customized itinerary.**
