Overview-Tour

FROM THE BEGINNINGS TO PRESENT-DAY
JEWISH LIFE

Around the New Synagogue in Oranienburger Street we find different Jewish institutions from the past such as the first cemetery, an old-age people’s home which became a deportation center, the Jewish boys’ school, an orphanage, a hospital, an orthodox rabbinical seminary, the liberal academy for Judaism, all of which represent the variety of Jewish life before the Nazi Period. New beginnings such as a Jewish community center , a Jewish high school, egalitarian groups and plans by the orthodox community Adass Jisroel for a new synagogue show present Jewish life.

We visit the courtyard where Otto Weidt, the Schindler of Berlin, protected Jews and we go to Rosenstrasse where a memorial commemorates the resistance of non-Jewish wifes whose Jewish partners had been arrested.

Duration: 2 – 2 ½ hours
