Tour description:
We start our tour at the memorial for the "euthanasia" victims. Then we drive to the bavarian quarter in Schöneberg. Albert Einstein and Egon Erwin Kisch, among others, lived in this area. A monument with 80 signs designed by Renata Stih and Schnock shows, how the Nazi laws and regulations continuously marginalized and excluded the Jewish population and deprived them of their rights.
We will drive to the Grunewald railway station. A deportation memorial reminds us that Berlin Jews were transported to Auschwitz and Theresienstadt from here. We continue visiting the House of the Wannsee Conference. On January 20, 1942, a meeting of 15 representatives of the SS, the NSDAP (Nazi party) and several Reich Ministries took place here. In just 85 minutes it was decided, to expand the mass murders that had been taking place since June 1941 in Eastern Europe into a systematic genocide. Later known as Holocaust. Back in the city center, our tour ends in the exhibition of “Topography of Terror”. On this site the headquarters of the SS, Secret State Police (Gestapo) and the Reich Security Main Office were located during the Third Reich.Stops:
