Everybody knows that the history of the Jewish people in Berlin is troubled, to say the least. But that isn’t the full story, and in the lively Mitte district, it doesn’t take long to find illuminating sites from what was once one of the world’s most vibrant centres of Jewish culture. On this tour, we'll go down alleyways and through courtyards to seek out the history of the Jewish people in Berlin from the Middle Ages through to the dark days of Hitler and the Nazis. There are stories of courage, resistance and strength in the face of death – like Otto Weidt, who risked life and limb to save his Jewish friends. Then there’s Daniel Itzig, who received equal status as other Prussian citizens, and Otto Belgardt, who helped save Berlin's fabulous New Synagogue. You’ll also hear about: • How women defeated the Nazis • Berlin's secret courtyards • How paintbrushes saved lives • A party that started in the 1920s and has never stopped This walking tour lasts roughly one hour, but feel free to stop and rest. There’s a lot to take in along the way, and also plenty to enjoy.
