About this activity

Uncover the rise of Nazism in Germany with Vive Berlin Tours on this 3-hour French-guided walking and public transport tour. Explore the mechanisms of propaganda, terror, and persecution, with a focus on the fate of Berlin’s Jewish community and other victims of the regime.

Starting at Potsdamer Platz, discover lesser-known memorials, including the T4 memorial, marking the site where the Nazi regime planned the murder of tens of thousands of disabled people.

See WWII battle scars and visit the German Resistance Memorial, site of the 20 July 1944 plot against Hitler. Continue to Hackescher Markt and the former Jewish quarter, passing the New Synagogue and Hackesche Höfe. Walk the 'Street of Tolerance', where a Catholic hospital, a Protestant church, and an old Jewish cemetery stand near a former Jewish retirement home turned by the Gestapo into a transit camp.
