Site of Nazi book-burning

Brilliant and controversial memorial to the murdered Jews of Europe by Peter Eisenman.

Stand above the site of Hitler's bunker. Learn about the final days and the downfall.

This ruin was once one of the busiest railway stations in Europe. During the Nazi regime many Jews were deported to the East from this station. Nearby is the overground bunker built from the plans of Albert Speer to protect Berliners during relentless Allied bombing.

Visit the site of the former SS and Gestapo HQ, now a memorial. From this location the Nazi's implemented the mechanics and logistics of the Holocaust. Here methods of cruel subjugation were made policy. A site full of fear for anyone who dared even question the war or the principles of the Nazi movement.

From this idyllic location by the park the Nazi's planed the execution of approximately 70.000 physically or mentally challenged citizens. This was a precursor to the Holocaust and an early indicator of the evil at the heart of the Nazi regime.

Visit the site where the Soviets fuínally broke through to attack the Reichstag in April 1945. We show you the route of the Soviet attack, the methods they used and the many battle scars that can still be seen today.
