Jewish Berlin
Enlightenment, Genocide, and Revival

















Berlin is home once more to a thriving Jewish community after the horrors of the so-called "Third Reich." Tracing its origins to the late seventeenth century, Berlin’s modern Jewish community brought forth such illustrious figures as Moses Mendelssohn, the great thinker of the Jewish Enlightenment or Haskalah, and Regina Jonas, the world’s first female rabbi. Visit the Old Jewish Cemetery, learn about Otto Weidt (Berlin’s Oskar Schindler), pay tribute to the women’s protest against the imprisonment of about 2,000 Jewish citizens, and admire the splendor of the New Synagogue.​
