Overview

Most people know the broad facts of the Holocaust. What they don't know is what it took to resist it.

This expert-led walking tour explores Berlin's former Jewish quarter, tracing the destruction of a community and the extraordinary individuals who chose to fight back.

From the New Synagogue — saved on the night of Kristallnacht by a police officer who refused his orders — to Otto Weidt's Workshop, where a factory owner protected his blind and deaf Jewish workers from the Gestapo. From the Women's Protest at Rosenstrasse — the only successful mass protest against a Nazi deportation order — to the Trains to Life, Trains to Death memorial at Friedrichstrasse station.

Three hours. Maximum 15 guests. A discussion, not a presentation.

Berlin's only specialist WWII tour company. Expert historian guide.

Featured on National Geographic and the Discovery Channel.
