Kreisfreie Stadt Berlin
About
This tour focuses on the Berlin of the Nazi-era. By singling out a range of buildings the mechanisms and the brutality of the Nazi-regime will get highlighted, as will the fact that besides millions of people losing their lives, at the end of the Nazi-terror lay a city and a country in shame and in rubble, to be subsequently divided, with a wall separating the east from the west. This tour takes visitors back to places where things actually happened by also underlining the fact that the Germany of today is a place different from what it was then, yet still haunted by the phantoms of the past.
