The Jewish City Center of Berlin

The Jewish City Center of Berlin

Category:

Product Description

For centuries Jewish people were a constant and important part of Berlin’s, Prussia’s and Germany’s history, culture and politics. Since the Middle Ages Jewish Berliners settled and lived just a few steps away from the Historical city center at Alexanderplatz.

Walking from the site of Berlin’s oldest synagogue through the small streets of the former Jewish quarter all the way to the Jewish cemetery and the New Synagogue we will find traces and remnants of the rich and bustling Jewish life.

Along the way we will find great examples of Anti-Semite resistance and civil disobedience: from Moses Mendelssohn, the “father of Enlightened Judaism” in Prussia in the 18th century, to Otto Weidt, who hid many of his Jewish neighbors in his little workshop during the Holocaust, to the brave women in Rosenstraße who forced the Nazis to release their husbands in 1943.
