Description
Berlin had one of Europe’s largest Jewish populations in the early 20th century, with Jewish residents playing key roles in government, science, arts, and business. Notable figures such as Albert Einstein were part of this culturally rich community.
The community was devastated under National Socialism, with Jewish culture later associated with sites of Nazi atrocities across Europe.
This tour is led by expert local guides who provide detailed accounts of Jewish heritage sites and Holocaust history. You will visit the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, stand before the reconstructed facade of the New Synagogue, and stop at Stolpersteine memorials honoring victims of Nazism.
