About this talk
This Jewish Berlin tour explores the fascinating history of Berlin's Jewish community from the early settlers to the modern times. Who were the first Jewish settlers in Berlin and when was the community established? What made the Jews of Berlin different? What was the Jewish Reformed movement and how did it impact the community?
You'll stroll around a neighborhood in Berlin's city center once dominated by the Jews and visit the oldest Jewish cemetery. You'll see the imposing New Berlin Synagogue and the mansion that belonged to the chief financier of a King of Prussia. We will take you to the Golden Age of Berlin's Jewry and share with you exciting stories of the Jewish merchants, financiers, and intellectuals who played important roles in the economic and social life of the German capital.
