In 1933, Berlin was home to Germany’s largest Jewish community, numbering 160,000 people; around 3,000 lived in (North) Neukölln, some of whom exerted a significant influence on civil society.

Some managed to emigrate in time, a small number survived in hiding, but most were murdered by the Nazis.
There are currently 276 Stolpersteine here (the number is rising steadily).
In many places, traces can be found of Jewish people who played an active role in shaping society, whether as a headteacher or a city councillor for education, as the director of the municipal library or the founder of a department store (and inventor of payment by instalments), or as entrepreneurs, particularly in the clothing trade. What became of these places? How are they used today? And what happened to the people? What connection was there to the Social Democrats, who were progressive at the time? And what is Jewish life like today in Neukölln, a district with a strong Arab presence?
Together, we will explore a (mere) small glimpse of the rich Jewish life in Neukölln.
