Germany for the Jewish Traveler

Learn about Germany’s Jewish history, including the 20-century saga of Germany and the Jewish people, and about Germany’s burgeoning 21st century Jewish community – the third largest and fastest growing in Western Europe.

Click on any of the links below to learn more about Germany’s Jewish history:

  • Holocaust Memorial Berlin – Check out the official Holocaust memorial, designed by German architect Peter Eisenman and entrenched in German Jewish history.
  • Jewish Museum Berlin – Trace Germany’s Jewish history from the Roman Age to the present day at the Jewish Museum in Berlin. This silvery, steel-clad building represents the most significant example of contemporary architecture in Berlin.
