Berlin day two

We met our private guide yoav in the middle of the former jewish section of town. He explained the fate of the berlin Jews in those fateful years, as they were gathered into apartment buildings and eventually transported to terezin and finally aushwitz. The city was dotted with reminders of what happened, with moving sculptures etc.  our guide had excellent interpretation. We visited the hiding place where Otto weidt saved five Jews by employing them in his factory making brushes. A story similar to anne frank.  We stopped at the former jewish cemetery, where after the bombing of berlin some 150,000 nazis and soviets were also buried. Now just a "garden" of ivy.  Saw the old berlin synagogue damaged during the bombing of the city (but survived kristalnacht) now the jewish community center.
In the afternoon we visited the museum the topography of terror - basically the rise and fall of the nazi party and all they did during those awful years in Europe.
