Description:

Explore the dark side of German history as you learn about the legacy of the Third Reich in Berlin, understanding its influence on the city. The focus of your guided walk is the period between 1933 and 1945, when Adolf Hitler and the National Socialist Party pushed Germany into war and terror.

With your guide, analyze the rise and fall of the Nazi Party. Look down from Brandenburg Gate on the lengthy Strasse des 17 Juni, one of the major boulevards in Albert Speer's plan for the new center of World Capital Germania—what Nazi Berlin was to be renamed. Then continue your stroll toward Peter Eisenman's Memorial.

As you walk through Wilhemstrasse, the government center of Berlin up until 1945, you can see other sites, memorials, and structures that played an important role during Hitler's regime. Your last stop is the Topography of Terror exhibition, located where the Gestapo and SS Headquarters once stood. The exhibit provides a glimpse into the affects of the Nazi legacy on today's Berlin.
