• Stiftung Neue Synagoge Berlin - Centrum Judaicum - Begin at the symbolic center of Berlin’s pre-war Jewish community. Discover how this grand building, nearly destroyed during Kristallnacht, was preserved by a local police officer who defied his orders.
• Große Hamburger Straße - Stolpersteine — Stumbling Stones
  Pause at the brass stones set in the pavement, each marking the last known address of a Holocaust victim. With over 70,000 across Europe, it is the largest decentralized memorial in the world.
• Jüdisches Gymnasium Moses Mendelssohn - Established in 1779 as Berlin’s first free Jewish school. By 1942, it had become a Nazi transit camp. Learn about its last headmaster and the fate of those detained here before deportation.
• Memorial Jewish Cemetery - Between 1672 and 1827, approximately 12,000 Jewish community members were interred here. On Gestapo orders, the SS destroyed the cemetery in 1943, smashing gravestones, discarding remains, and desecrating the site. In April 1945, burials resumed. Nearly 2,500 German soldiers and Berlin civilians, killed during the fighting or executed by the SS for displaying white flags, are buried in mass graves.
• Museum Blindenwerkstatt Otto Weidt - Stand outside the workshop where Otto Weidt protected his blind and deaf Jewish workers by falsifying documents, bribing Gestapo officials, and creating hiding places. This is one of Berlin’s most remarkable stories of individual resistance.
• Denkmal Rosenstraße - Stand where German women defied the Nazi regime in 1943 to save their Jewish husbands. For seven days, they refused to leave, resulting in their husbands’ release. This was the only successful mass protest against a Nazi deportation order in the history of the Third Reich. Despite threats of being shot, the women persisted, and as pressure mounted, Goebbels authorized the prisoners’ release.
• Lustgarten - This group of buildings on Museum Island illustrates the transformation of public space under the Nazi regime—from civic and cultural institutions into tools of propaganda and state control. One week after Hitler became Chancellor, 200,000 Berliners protested the new government. Strict regulations imposed by the Nazis in the following months made protesting dangerous, with heavy fines and arrests. In 1934, the Lustgarten was paved over for Nazi propaganda rallies, swearing-in ceremonies, and military parades.
• Zeughaus - The magnificent Zeughaus is the oldest building along Unter den Linden, built in 1730 as an artillery arsenal. On March 21, 1943, it was chosen to exhibit captured Soviet weapons. Major General Rudolf Christoph Freiherr von Gersdorff, a member of the Wehrmacht resistance, was selected to lead the exhibit. Despite 27 failed assassination attempts on Adolf Hitler, Gersdorff was determined to succeed and planned to blow himself up with the Führer using two concealed British clam mines. A detailed coup d’état was ready, learn what happens next on this tour.
• Neue Wache - Germany’s central memorial to the victims of war and tyranny. A single sculpture. An empty room. The silence here is intentional.
• Book Burning Memorial at Bebelplatz - On May 10, 1933, members of the Nazi German Student Union and their professors gathered here in Bebelplatz, adjacent to the historical and prestigious Humboldt University. In a nationwide action “against the un-German spirit,” students burned over 25,000 volumes of books deemed “un-German.”
• Trains To Life Trains To Death - Conclude the tour at Friedrichstrasse station, at the memorial to the Kindertransport children. The same station that sent children to safety also sent others to their deaths. This is where the question posed at the start of the tour comes full circle. Designed by sculptor Frank Meisler, himself among those rescued by the Kindertransport, traveling from here to England in 1939.
