Berlin: Jewish Past and Present

HI3091 20th Century European Jewish History
PY3067 Life Stories

This two-day trip enables students to discover the history and memory of the Jewish past of Berlin through visits of synagogues, museums, former social institutions and cemeteries, to learn about how the Holocaust unfolded in the center of the third Reich, to question the current memorial stakes through visits of dedicated memorials, museums, street walks, and finally to see the current Berlin Jewish life and culture which has been recently revived. The trip gives students an opportunity to grasp major social, cultural and political aspects of Twentieth Century Jewish history and of the Holocaust, and to question issues related to its memorialization.
