In November 1943, the Synagogue was severely damaged in an allied bombing raid. The main hall was torn down in 1958, partly rebuilt in 1988 and officially reopened in 1995.

In the Fall of 1941, the deportation of Jews to the newly conquered territories to the East resulted in banning all Jewish schools.

Strict regulations imposed by the Nazi's over the coming month's restricted Germans' right to protest, hefty fines and arrests made protesting the Nazi regime very dangerous. In 1934, the Lustgarten was paved over to make way for Nazi propaganda rallies, swearing-in ceremonies and military parades.

We did a historical walking tour in Berlin with On The Front Tours. It was run very professionally with our guide, Matt, giving an extremely informative summary of the events of the Holocaust and Nazi Resistance. Matt’s knowledge was remarkable and his passion for history was evident.

Amazing tour, tour guide was so passionate and though this was a serious subject, there was also a place for humour. We learnt a lot of points you can’t find in the history books.
