Jüdisches Museum, A profound journey through Jewish history and reflection

Lindenstrasse 9-14, Berlin Kreuzberg

Germany's attitude towards history

4.6

Introduction

The Jewish people have a long and closely related history in Germany, not limited to just the cruel WWII. This museum presents the entire historical process, with WWII being an important part of it. In addition, the museum's building itself is a profoundly meaningful architectural sculpture. It is irregular in shape and appearance, and there is no formal entrance, instead accessed through narrow tunnels. The museum's special designs, such as the Court of Exile, the Tower of Holocaust, and the Fallen Leaves installation art, are all deeply moving, conveying the profound contemplation and commemoration of the Jewish people about their own destiny. In a WWII core city like Berlin, the museum also deeply reflects on the catastrophe of WWII.
