Description:

Discover 800 years of complex history in the heart of Berlin. With an expert historian, explore the triumphs of Jewish artists and thinkers, as well as the historic tragedies and hardships they suffered.

Your walk begins at Heidereutgasse, the first synagogue in the city. Learn facts and anecdotes about the Jewish population during the Medieval and Renaissance periods. Your tour then moves toward the Scheunenviertel, or Barn Quarter, a neighborhood in the center of Berlin, and the center of Berlin Jewish life from the 18th century on.

See numerous sites of historical relevance, like various synagogues and an old Jewish cemetery, while you learn about the successes of many of Berlin's Jews—including Max Reinhardt, Arnold Schoenberg, Kurt Weill, Max Liebermann, and Lesser Ury.

Your guide's discussion also covers the dark side of Berlin history, like anti-Semitism, the Holocaust, and the Nuremberg Laws—which methodically stripped Jews of various human, political, and economic rights. Finally, you can study the efforts of contemporary Germany to commemorate this community.
