Holocaust Memorial

BERLIN

Berlin has many reminders of the Nazi era, and can be combined with a visit to Prague, which will help bring pupils' understanding of the Holocaust into sharp perspective.

  • Anne Frank Centre - A workshop session for groups is possible here, or an audio-visual Jewish themed tour in the area.
  • Holocaust Memorial and Visitor Centre - The abstract design of the Memorial by Peter Eisenman is an extraordinary sight, and the Visitor Centre provides the personal and biographical details of the victims commemorated here.
  • Jewish Museum - The permanent exhibition tells of Jewish culture in Germany and the difficult relationship between Jews and non-Jews.
  • Otto Weidt's Workshop for the Blind - Here in the heart of Berlin Otto Weidt sheltered many Jews from deportation.
  • Sachsenhausen - The former concentration camp on the outskirts of Berlin.  One section, the Small Camp, housed Jewish craftsmen  - prisoners required to counterfeit Allied currency and other documents.
  • Wannsee Conference House - Where in 1942 the fate of the Jews was decided.
