Central Europe and the Holocaust
One of history’s darkest moments takes on a poignant immediacy when you walk through the cities, towns, and buildings where the events occurred.
At the Jewish Museum in Berlin, in the Warsaw Ghetto, in Prague’s Jewish Quarter, and at the camps of Auschwitz and Birkenau, you have the opportunity to recall the suffering, honor the victims, and celebrate the liberation.
