You will be picked up directly from your hotel or a prearranged meeting point.
At the end of the tour you will be dropped off at your hotel or, if you wish to remain in the city, your guide can give you recommendations for further exploration.
Your professional, local guide will pick you up from your hotel and introduce the tour.
At our first stop you have the chance to explore the workshop where blind German brush-maker Otto Weidt sheltered his Jewish workers from the deportation and persecution at the hands of the SS and Gestapo.
Next we marvel at the ornate golden domes of the New Synagogue – formerly the largest synagogue in Germany and targeted during the violent pogroms of November 1938.
Moving deeper into the old Jewish Quarter you will walk the corridors of the former Jewish Girl's School – forcibly closed under Nazism, it's students and teachers deported – now a centre for art, history and gastronomy.
Time will then be taken to search out these poignant memorials to victims of Nazism, inlaid in the sidewalks in front of buildings where those murdered by the regime used to live, work or study.
Next we learn about the horrors of the Nazi extermination camp system beneath the boughs of birch trees brought to Berlin from the grounds of Auschwitz-Birkenau.
Next we will explore the oldest Jewish Graveyard in the city and see the gravesite of Moses Mendelssohn.
After a short train ride we then pay tribute to the young and infant victims of Nazism at this poignant memorial at the Friedrichstraße Station – where children were transported to the safety of the west after the Nazi pogroms of 1938, and also deported by the regime eastwards after 1942, to the extermination centers of the occupied East.
Finally, plenty of time will be taken to journey through the iconic field of concrete blocks, and learn about the legacy of the crimes of Nazism in Germany today. The tour ends here.
