This is a very complex topic. When we talk about Jewish Berlin, there’s a before and after. Before the Nazis came to power and the Holocaust, before Kristallnacht, before the death trains, before the murder of nearly 6 million Jews, we’ll be talking about one Berlin. This includes the Ephraim Palace, the New Synagogue, and Hausvogteiplatz—better known as the European fashion center.
We’ll talk about Moses Mendelssohn and the Knoblauch family home, and we’ll meet the Great Elector, thanks to whom Prussia became the first German state to recognize Jews as full citizens.
“After” includes Peter Eisenmann’s Memorial Complex to the Murdered Jews, the Train to Life – Train to Death, the Abandoned Room, the Former Jewish Cemetery, the Stolpersteine, and Otto Weidt’s Studio.
