Resisting the Holocaust — Berlin's Hidden Heroes | Expert Historian

What your day looks like

Most people know the broad facts of the Holocaust. What they don't know is what it felt like to live through it — or what it took to resist it. This expert-led walking tour explores Berlin's former Jewish quarter, tracing the destruction of a community and the extraordinary individuals who chose to fight back. From the New Synagogue — saved on Kristallnacht by a police officer who refused his orders — to Otto Weidt's Workshop, where a factory owner protected his blind and deaf Jewish workers from the Gestapo. From the Women's Protest at Rosenstrasse — the only successful mass protest against a Nazi deportation order — to the Trains to Life, Trains to Death memorial at Friedrichstrasse. Every stop is explained within its full historical framework — not just what happened, but why it was possible and who chose to resist.
