Holocaust & Nazi Resistance Tour
Step into the shadows of history. Witness a city defined by war's evils and everyday heroes with our expert-led Holocaust & Nazi Resistance tour.
Stand where German housewives bravely protested the Nazi regime, and see where courageous citizens like Otto Weidt protected Jewish lives right under the nose of oppression. Feel the full force of humanity - its capacity for cruelty and its boundless compassion. This intimate tour goes beyond dates and facts. We'll walk you through the rise of totalitarianism, the horrific final solution, and, most importantly, the flowering of resistance.
You'll leave with a deeper understanding of the strands of hatred and love that weave this city together. We promise our small group setting will transform this from a tour into a profound personal journey.
Don't just learn about history - experience it. Feel the weight of the past so we may move forward wiser and kinder.
