Here’s an overview of your tour
Join me on this tour for a better understanding of Berlin's Jewish community - past and present. Discover several Jewish places and sights in Berlin starting at the old Jewish cemetery where also a few famous Jewish people are buried, continuing to places of worship - the Synagogues - from the ones that are still standing and the ones that are missing.
Along the way, I will show you a place where German women fought for their Jewish husbands to be released and a historical place where love won. Also, you will see the street where the oldest Jewish cemetery once stood. And through amazing storytelling, I can help you take a look at the past to understand more vividly these impactful historical facts.
Ready for a break? We can include, on a personalized offer, a pit-stop at the local Jewish Cafe Beth and try some kosher snacks.
To keep the journey going, you'll visit the 'Transports to Life and Death Sculpture' where I can tell you stories about the children who were victims of the Nazi regime and the ones who were saved.
This experience would not be complete without an insightful visit to the Holocaust memorial where after the tour of the Memorial you can visit also the Documentation center below the memorial on your own.
Take a look at the past and see how the present has molded from this history and how the locals paid respect through its memorials and preservation of historical sights.
If there is any other place or stop that you want to include, please let me know! I can personalize this tour 100% for you. See you soon in Berlin!
PS.: we will be using public transport to get around (tram and Sbahn, so I can help you purchase the public transportation ticket if you don’t already have it).
