Three days, both topics - a model itinerary

The third day gives us the opportunity to go beyond the two-days itinerary and reach interesting and meaningful locations off the beaten track.

In Jewish terms, our options include:

• Daniel Libeskind's Jewish Museum

• The Train Wagon monument and the "Wall of Flames", Berlin’s first attempt to address the past artistically by using the Nazi deportation records

• The Empty Benches memorial for Kreuzberg's old synagogue, designed like the textual flow of a Talmud page

• The Jewish cemetery at Schönhauser Allee (where the impressionist painter Max Liebermann is buried)

• The Jewish cemetery in Weissensee (Europe's largest still active Jewish cemetery with very interesting architecture)

• The House of the Wannsee Conference (the guides are asked to do the guidance outside, before going in - but the place is very significant)

And if you'd like to go deeper into the German story, we recommend a journey into Communist life in East-Berlin:

• Bernauer Straße - the street that was torn apart and became the most known symbol of the German tragedy, but also the scene of some legendary escapes

• Treptower Park – the largest Soviet war & victory memorial outside of the USSR, with which Stalin left its mark on the city for all ages (more or less). It was designed by the Jewish architect Yakov Belopolsky.

• Karl-Marx-Allee, formerly known as “Stalin’s avenue” - the showcase boulevard of German communism, now the longest architectural monument in Europe(!), where we'll visit an exhibition about everyday life in East-Berlin

• The famous Ghost Stations underneath the city, an absurdity of Berlin’s divided subway system

• An open-air reconstruction of the infamous “Death Strip”, where the communist soldiers shot their own countrymen
