Your journey begins at the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, a powerful tribute to the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust. Here, your guide shares compelling stories and historical insights, including the moving Trains to Life – Trains to Death memorial dedicated to Jewish children lost during World War II.
As you walk through the former Jewish Quarter, you'll encounter the majestic New Synagogue, one of the few synagogues to survive Kristallnacht. The route takes you past the solemn Jewish Cemetery, where centuries-old gravestones stand as reminders of a vibrant community, and numerous Stolpersteine, small plaques honoring Holocaust victims once living in the area.

A four-hour option allows you to step inside the New Synagogue, exploring its stunning interior and learning about its vital role in Berlin’s Jewish life. Opt for the five-hour tour to also visit the Schönhauser Allee Jewish Cemetery, the final resting place of notable Jewish Berliners and a site rich with personal stories.
