The persecution of the Jews in Berlin 1933-1945

The measures by the Nationals Socialist municipal administration against the Berlin Jews chronicled here give us a graphic picture of how the exclusion of the Jews from all spheres of public life unfolded, forcing many Berlin Jews to emigrate, and ultimately led to that program of murder for which more than 52,000 Berlin Jews had to pay with their lives. The emigration and deportations led to a situation where only a few thousand Jews in the city survived the Nazi mass murder and Jewish culture in Berlin was destroyed for decades to come.
