The Jewish Museum in Berlin

The Jewish Museum in Berlin, opened on September 9, 2001, located in the Kreuzbergn district on Lindenstrasse Street, is the largest museum in Europe dedicated to two millennia of the history of the Jewish people in Germany.

Before Hitler came to power in Germany, there was a museum telling about the life of Jews in the country, which lasted only 5 years - the reason for its closure was the events of Kristallnacht.

The current museum includes two buildings connected by an underground passage: the old Collegienhaus building - the High Court of Berlin, built in the Barroco style, and the new one - built by architect Daniel Libeskindem, in its design resembling the Star of David. The floors of the museum have a slope - passing through them, visitors feel a heaviness, which constantly reminds of the difficult fate of the Jewish people.

The historical exhibition of the museum will tell you about the difficult fate of the Jews of Germany, the central theme of which is the story of the flight, exile, new beginning and extermination of German Jews.

No one will be indifferent to the gloomy tower of the Holocaust, crowned with a piece of sky and the Garden of Exile, where the land that was brought here from Israel is stored.
