Jewish Berlin

The life of Jews in Berlin has always been so closely intertwined with the history of the city that today, on every street, you can find places that testify to their complex past together.
An individual tour of Jewish Berlin will help you learn more about the role that Jews played in the life of the city, about the tragedy of an entire nation during the Nazi period, and about its outstanding personalities who influenced our civilization.

Jewish Berlin and its places of remembrance

A guided tour of the Jewish sites in Berlin includes an introduction to outstanding memorials and monuments, among which the most famous is the Holocaust Memorial. Consisting of a huge number of ascetic concrete slabs, the Holocaust in Berlin became a symbol of the desperation of the Jewish people, who lost more than 6 million of their children during the Hitler regime. More than 50,000 Jews were sent from Berlin during the Nazi years to death camps. Modern Berlin has not forgotten the terrible crimes committed by the Nazis, and in its most diverse corners one can find evidence of recognition and condemnation of this dark page of its past.

A private guide in Berlin will guide you along a route that includes memorial sites for murdered Jews. You will see the New Synagogue, one of the largest and most beautiful religious buildings in Europe, the installation of the Lost House, the monument Abandoned Space, and built into the pavement in the form of brass tablets stumbling stones with the names of victims of Hitler’s repressions.

The Jewish community in Berlin has become the cradle for many celebrities who have made invaluable contributions to world culture and art. The names of Albert Einstein, Moses Mendelssohn, Max Liebermann, Ephraim Lessing, James Simon, Rosa Luxemburg, and many other representatives of the Jewish people who left a bright mark in world history are closely associated with the capital of Germany.
