Join me, for an immersive journey through Berlin's rich Jewish history. We meet in Mitte-Hackescher Markt, where many Jewish community institutions are located. Discover the fascinating story of the community's re-establishment in the second half of the 17th century, beginning with the era of Moses Mendelssohn.

More about me in the Jewish context: Beyond personal fascination with Jewish wars, today and also in the 19th century, I also engage with history relevant to the subject academically
