This is a wonderful display in print of the Centrum Judaicum, The Central Jewish Museum in Berlin, which is housed in a beautiful, newly renovated synagogue in Berlin. The exhibit details the story of the Jews of Berlin during the Nazi reign.
The authors tell their story in a personal way. As they take us back to Nazi-era Berlin we see the city from the perspective of its Jewish inhabitants. This is a human story with photographs and documents that are far more powerful than the explanations that accompany them. The Jews in Nazi Berlin is a wonderful and respectful memorial to the Jews who lived and died in Berlin from Kristallnacht to the liberation.
