Join me on a profound journey through the heart of Berlin’s Jewish community, a story that spans 300 years, from humble beginnings to vibrant cultural heights, from unimaginable tragedy to resilient renewal.

Our tour will begin by tracing the footsteps of the early Jewish settlers, who arrived in Berlin centuries ago and established a thriving community. We’ll walk the streets they once walked, exploring the Old Jewish Quarter and visiting the First Berlin Synagogue, a testament to their enduring faith.

We’ll then delve into the golden age of Jewish life in Berlin, during the Enlightenment, when the community flourished as a center of intellectual, cultural, and economic activity. We’ll visit sites that bear witness to this vibrant era, and hear the stories of the remarkable individuals who shaped it.

Our journey will also confront the dark chapter of the Holocaust, a time of unimaginable loss and suffering. We’ll stand in solemn remembrance at Platform 17, the site of deportations, and visit the children’s monument, a heartbreaking tribute to innocence lost.

But this is not just a story of tragedy. It’s a story of resilience, of a community that has rebuilt and thrived in the face of adversity. We’ll visit the New Synagogue, a symbol of hope and renewal, and explore the vibrant Jewish life that continues to enrich Berlin today.

• The First Berlin Synagogue
