Tour

The terrible Nazi parable, which lasted only 12 years from its seizure of power to its surrender, completely changed contemporary history, provoked profound political, religious, and philosophical reflection on the evil that human beings can do to other human beings, and changed the face of Berlin. Can Nazism be forgotten? The Germans have coined an unpronounceable term: Vergangenheitsbewältigung, which means "coming to terms with the past." By this, they do not mean forgetting or denying Nazism and the horrors it perpetrated, but critically reflecting on their past, drawing from it a constant warning ("Never again!") and overcoming the "historical guilt complex" of the German nation. This tour is an immersion into the history of Berlin during the Third Reich and the German effort to come to terms with its own historical responsibility.
