Overview

This isn't just a tour—it’s a deeply human journey through Berlin’s WWII past, told through the eyes of those who resisted tyranny. I’ll guide you to the hidden corners of the city where bravery lived in silence, and history still echoes in the streets.

We’ll begin in the heart of old Jewish Berlin, where a small plaque or quiet cobblestone holds a powerful story. At each stop, you’ll uncover real lives—people who hid, who fought, who stood up when the world looked away.

This experience is powerful, personal, and unlike anything you’d find in a guidebook. It’s an opportunity to connect with the past in a way that’s intimate, emotional, and unforgettable.

Throughout, I’ll bring along photographs, maps, and stories to help you visualise what Berlin looked like under the Third Reich—and how resistance lived alongside repression.

This experience is powerful, personal, and unlike anything you’d find in a guidebook.

What To Expect

Stiftung Neue Synagoge Berlin - Centrum Judaicum

The starting point for this tour is the Neue Synagogue, New Synagogue. Constructed in 1866, the Synagogue was the largest and most magnificent in Berlin, a literal representation of the thriving 160,000 Berlin Jewish community members. Saved from vandals during the infamous Kristallnacht pogrom. The Synagogue remained in use until 1940 until being confiscated by the Army and used to store military uniforms. In November 1943, the Synagogue was severely damaged in an allied bombing raid. The main hall was torn down in 1958, partly rebuilt in 1988 and officially reopened in 1995. Today the Synagogue houses the Centrum Judaicum foundation, an institution for preserving Jewish memory and tradition.

Jüdisches Gymnasium Moses Mendelssohn

Founded in 1779, the Jewish boy's school was the first Jewish school in Germany without fees. Although a Jewish institution the school was open to all faiths and promoted liberal Jewishness and accepted female students in 1931. In the Fall of 1941, the deportation of Jews to the newly conquered territories to the East resulted in banning all Jewish schools. In 1942, the Reich Main Security office under the SS turned the building into a transit camp. The windows were barred, and Jews were crammed inside to await deportation.

Lustgarten

The Lustgarten is framed on three sides by the Berlin Cathedral, the Altes Museum and the Zeughaus. Before the Nazi's, the Lustgarten was a favourite location for protests and speeches. One week after Hitler's appointment as Chancellor 200,000 Berliner's protested the new Government. Strict regulations imposed by the Nazi's over the coming month's restricted Germans' right to protest, hefty fines and arrests made protesting the Nazi regime very dangerous. In 1934, the Lustgarten was paved over to make way for Nazi propaganda rallies, swearing-in ceremonies and military parades.
