Memorial to the Sinti and Roma Victims of National Socialism
This memorial commemorates the Sinti and Roma victims of the Nazi regime, located in the Tiergarten near the Reichstag. The circular pool with a central triangle (reflecting the badges Sinti and Roma were forced to wear) is a poignant reminder of the atrocities faced by these communities.
Soviet Memorial Tiergarten
The Soviet Memorial in Treptower Park honors the Soviet soldiers who fell during the Battle of Berlin in World War II. Its grand statues and solemn atmosphere serve as a powerful reminder of the war's devastating effects and the role of the Soviet Union in Berlin's history.
Reichstag Building
The Reichstag, with its transparent dome, symbolizes German transparency and democracy but also bears the scars of the Third Reich era when it was largely unused after the 1933 fire. Tours of the building provide insights into Germany's parliamentary history and its resilience.
Tiergarten
Once a hunting ground, the Tiergarten became a place for mass rallies during the Third Reich. Now, it's a vast and serene park in the heart of Berlin, offering a space for reflection amidst memorials and historical sites.
Jewish Community Of Berlin
The Jewish Quarter in Berlin is a testament to the vibrant Jewish community that thrived before the Nazi era and suffered greatly. Today, it's a lively neighborhood where history meets contemporary Jewish life, with restored synagogues, Jewish schools, and cultural institutions.
Stiftung Neue Synagoge Berlin - Centrum Judaicum
The New Synagogue, with its striking golden dome, is a symbol of the resurgence of Jewish culture in Berlin, despite being badly damaged during Kristallnacht and World War II. It now serves as a center for Jewish culture and education, with parts of the building open to the public.
Museum Blindenwerkstatt Otto Weidt
This museum is dedicated to Otto Weidt, who employed and protected blind and deaf Jews in his workshop during the Holocaust. It's a lesser-known but deeply moving site that highlights acts of courage and humanity amidst the horrors of the Third Reich.
