Jews have had a strong influence on Berlin’s history and Jewish life continues to be an important part of life in the German capital today. “Jewish Berlin” remains a standard work on the culture, religion and daily life of Jews in Berlin both yesterday and today. It visits the important sites of Jewish history and current life – the synagogues, community centers, cemeteries, memorial sites, museums and exhibitions as well as cafés, restaurants and businesses throughout the city. This first revised and updated English version also includes several new color photographs.
The author Dr. Bill Rebiger is currently a research associate at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz. With this book, the Jewish studies expert provides readers with a reliable guide to Berlin’s rich Jewish cultural life.
