Path of Resistance: Berlin’s Hidden Holocaust Stories

This powerful walking tour takes you deep into the heart of Berlin’s Jewish quarter, where cobblestones, plaques, and quiet courtyards still whisper stories of courage and survival. Led by Berlin’s only World War II specialist guides, this experience brings history to life through the lens of those who resisted Nazi oppression.

Stand where Jewish families were torn from their homes and deported. Visit Otto Weidt’s humble workshop, where he shielded blind and deaf Jewish workers from persecution. Learn about Nicholas Winton, the “British Schindler,” who helped hundreds of Jewish children escape the Holocaust.

Hear the moving story of the Rosenstraße Protest — where German women bravely stood up to the Nazis to demand the release of their Jewish husbands. Walk across Bebelplatz, the site of the infamous 1933 book burning that signalled the Nazi campaign against free thought and intellectual freedom.

This is not just a tour—it’s a deeply human journey. You’ll see the traces of defiance in ordinary people, reflect at memorials to those who vanished, and gain a greater understanding of how resistance took many forms, from quiet bravery to collective action.

Whether you're a history enthusiast or a first-time visitor, this experience offers an unforgettable journey into one of the darkest periods in history — see where the light still managed to shine through.
