it's true. we took a decade before the enemy in time. and steered by courageous decisions we must treat these. the germans every week on w. bush.

in. berlin this new synagogue it was once the biggest and most beautiful house of jewish worship in germany it was destroyed in the second world war. today the golden dome is once again a landmark skyline. in this edition i want to take you on a tour of berlin's jewish past and present were starting at the new synagogue in downtown berlin this district called this runoff orszag was until the holocaust the center of jewish life and berlin and today it's a once again home to a flourishing jewish community. will also visit. at

europe's biggest jewish cemetery in berlin tysons they. will drop in that gordon a one stop shop for israeli cuisine and music. and we'll join our viewers davia done a tour around jerusalem. this man know of neighborhood and the synagogue are popular destinations and berlin city center. there are plenty of restaurants and cafes some of them based on jewish call unary traditions. you'll also find lots of stories and art galleries. on the sidewalks you'll come across. our stumbling stones. the small brass plaque served there to remind us of the people who lived here before falling victim to

national socialism's reign of terror there are more than seven thousand stop us time and berlin many in the spawn they were forced out before the war this neighborhood was the center of berlin's jewish life. and this street for example there was a jewish retirement home right on the square. and nine hundred forty two it was closed by the nazis who turned it into a collection point for people who are to be deported to ghettos and extermination camps. today the spot know a force that is once again home to many jewish institutions but tourists are mainly drawn by the area's vibrant and diverse atmosphere. so for example you'll find in every berlin guidebook cafes and art galleries as far as the eye can see.

this brick buildings used to be a jewish girls school. don't want this point. forward jewish girl school is a true gem and perfectly sums up the character of this entire street a colorful mix of restaurants and gallery. gallery owner and dealer michelle have helped bring the jewish girls' school back to life. as soon as you saw the vacant building he immediately recognized its potential after its renovation he set up his gallery here without forgetting the building's history. the school was. in one nine hundred twenty eight in the style known as new objectivity an art movement that ended in germany when the

national socialists came to power. the school was forced to close in one nine hundred forty two the adjoining courtyard served as a collection point where berlin jews were herded together before deportation. after the war a secondary school moved in and later the building remained empty. bit by bit michelle says uncover details of its original architecture. is oil us on this one on the lawn the columns were a surprise. the lamps we found and restored were also a surprise. this original beauty only came to light after the walls that were built later were removed. to. a school building like this offers all sorts of possibilities. and different opened the policies a restaurant inspired by the roaring twenty's in what had been the gymnasium. of

the instance you're interested in the grand restaurants that existed in berlin before the war they had traditional lighting chandelier traditional surfaces made of wood and stone what we've added is a little modern art so it doesn't look too stuffy it would stifle it. like this rocket the artwork in the shape of a missile has stirred some debate but it's certainly i catch. a museum called the kennedy's has moved into four disused classrooms that makes the former jewish girls' school a prime location for both art lovers and maze and a place in which history is being acknowledged. my tour takes me back to the new synagogue like all jewish institutions in berlin it's under police protection many people only look at the beautiful building from

the outside but visitors are very much encouraged. director shows me around only the front was reconstructed the main part of the synagogue was never rebuilt services aren't held in these halls it's a place of encounter and a museum on the history of jewish community it's closed for renovation but that means i get an even better look at the historic rooms. the room gives a good impression of how splendid the building from here you entered the main room of the synagogue which no longer exists. and. the building was badly damaged during an aerial attack and nine hundred forty three later most of it had to be demolished. we continue our tour to the council room

back in the day this was where the elected representatives of the jewish community in the city convened today it's the ideal location for readings lectures and other events. from upstairs we catch a glimpse of the rear courtyard the floorplan of the former synagogue as outlined with black granite as a reminder of what once was. and is the director here at the culture of fun dacian and the new synagogue formally known as the center and you die come via murder. we want to convey jewish life in all its facets including the debates within judaism and to engage into dialogue with people. new forms of anti-semitism are definitely a topic. another possible topic is the diversity of today is about the muslim on board israel and the diaspora israel and germany they're all things we might talk about here and i know. i like to talk about the new anti-semitism you've just

mentioned there's a lot of discussion about it these days do you notice that things are getting more difficult are attacks on jews in germany and maybe berlin in particular on the rise . in flights. i do perceive a change because i read about it not because it happened to me personally. but when you read newspapers and watch the news you see things you'd never thought possible ten or fifteen years ago fourteen from for me and i thought things have changed that we've moved past that as a society and i'm now bike up and suddenly strangely it seems that things like this can indeed still happen why is that you on a long day and can you counteract that change here at the center of your diagram or or do you speak to a clientele that isn't involved in this shift. coped

with some i'm in touch with you i believe we do have a certain clientele one time that it's not easy for us to reach the people we might need to reach. the high. of regular events especially don't necessarily reach those people. we're trying to develop new formats for children school young people and others we want to do more of that. next stop the jewish cemetery invites inzy in the north east of berlin. with more than one hundred thousand graves it's the largest jewish cemetery in europe. with. the grounds are large with many hidden corners during the

second world war a small number of jews were able to save themselves by hiding here most of berlin's jewish community fled or perished in the holocaust with no family to tend to them most of the graves are neglected and over grown. the cemetery is a testament to the city's jewish history many important figures were burrage here like hold of will launched a publishing empire in berlin which published one hundred and thirty newspapers and journals. here lies. off a local celebrity he found that the car davies still berlin's most famous department store. and this is where bet kempinski is buried his wine store and delicatessen evolved into the well known hotel chain named after him. just by looking at this short list of names you

can get an impression of how influential jewish entrepreneurs were in shaping of history they also played a predominant role in making the local fashion industry so famous and the second half of the nineteenth century leading fashion houses and tailors were based on house folk tight square and berlin that means that. people coming out of the metro station don't usually notice them the names of jewish designers lyndon back live in baghdad. one hundred years ago they're ready to wear companies were at the center of fashion industry. has been researching the history of square for more than thirty years. imagine thousands of young people pushing clothes racks back and forth starting at five every morning it was filled with life this is where berlin fashion was made for the world that.

the first moved here in the early nineteenth century prices were affordable. prison was here and no one wanted to live nearby ready to wear was a new idea back then for the first time women's garments weren't being. produced in series. a jewish entrepreneur was the first. to make five women's coats using the same pattern and the same material the magnificent building that housed his textile company still exists he laid the foundations for berlin as a fashion center. was the lagerfeld of the eight hundred thirty s. . he set the course berlin fashion would take and exported it in huge numbers. well you see here you can still see the v. for valentino and here is a rather ornate m. . in the one nine hundred twenty s. designs became simpler and easier to mass produce but off the rack fashion wasn't

all that was made on all school boards where so were costumes for cabaret and film performers. the national socialist destroyed that world banks procreated the jewish garment makers property the fashion nurses went to non jewish employees. after the war ended the square lay in. his lawyer it's a tragic legacy of the nazi years for to me with a jewish garment manufacturers and star designers have been completely lost to our collective memory horchata. today house folk times square is little more than a stop on the metro it's never been able to recover its glamorous past. my next stop takes me tonight because currently one of berlin's most hyped

districts one of the most diverse areas of the city. gordon is a slice of tel aviv in the heart of berlin it's a one stop shop for good israeli food music it was launched by doran eisenberg amir evan it ski two of the roughly ten thousand israelis living in berlin the front of the restaurant caters to your palate the back to your ears. jarana near are both d.j.'s and producers they arrived in berlin in two thousand and eleven and began spending vinyl and local clubs a few years later they opened gordon which still sells record albums. so you guys were. everywhere you have your own record label your organizing parties what made. you leave all that behind and come to berlin of all cities where you

come to believe the news is the music. because. it's all put the meat is in believe in the. three clubs in two thousand. so it will be possible to grow with. this place probably keeps you guys pretty busy you have your decks here but can you still be found around town playing gigs and good of the months. in one of the main clubs and then in five to soft serve in budapest so. you know it's happening but in the last use the deep just because we have to see the place the baby. you know was there because of course israelis amberley you always kind of get back to the shared history and that dark chapter that kind of you know it's real in germany was that

at all a topic that you had in mind or did you think it was like they were all different so for me personally it's a she was even a john interest show that it's possible to get forward to show that the future leads to good and to create if it's everything was the story and now we have a new generation used to so yes we have we do exist it's happening. it's not just music that draws people to court it's also the menu traditional israeli and middle eastern dishes with a twist. how do you believe the israeli here for a language you started a couple years ago when there was. nothing and now there's more and more places and. really. really proud to be a kind of. why don't you in this is not me and we've been. you screwed to also with

without a package so it's not only the fools in the basic stuff it's also the music the atmosphere the design the design it's. all in one soul are both i'm really proud of all these it's really nice to do and it's. really nice opportunity to be part of something you're doing money. and enough talking about food let's try something. new the name of the song you know this is the image of the last enjoy. the lentils of rice and eggplant and jerusalem artichokes with mushrooms delicious. a striking building and crowds back district with a touching symbolism that brings to mind a broken star of david. the architect daniel levy scheme placed the modern

construction right next to an old baroque palace the two buildings joined to form the jewish museum. inside the architecture leaves a powerful impression the narrow halls and maze like corridors convey a sense of stark disorientation. this is shallow hit fallen leaves an installation by men. more than ten thousand iron plate faces with open mouths cover the floor visitors are allowed to walk on them but many people are reluctant to do so. i wired along with history plays an important role in the jewish museum this is a light insulation by james charles an important symbol in judaism life links the

beginning and the end of creation were. the biggest attraction these days the welcome to jerusalem exhibition the jewish museum depicts the eventful history and complex present of this multireligious city as well as the daily lives of its residents. turbulent is also where our viewer doubt it lives and he invited us and our cameras to come along on a stroll through the thirty let's go meet a local. saloon i mean on the beach and it's my pleasure to welcome you to day one of the most beautiful cities in the ward jerusalem i have to start my mornings with a run here on this beautiful promenade looking at three thousand years of history come join me and explore to see the.

mouth of the run our first stop is the old city of jerusalem is holy to the three major want to you think religions judaism christianity and islam and we are going to see some of the most sacred sites on earth follow me. in. each religion has its own water and its own sacred sites in the old city it's a wonderful experience to wander around here especially in the cut off was our open market. i love this market the sights the smells the sounds. true adventure for all of your senses. this is my favorite spice that we did with olive oil piece of bread and i've been

a cheese. we now continue on the via dolorosa way of thorough we traces the path of jesus as he carried the cross to this point of course the fiction of the ruler of the world and. it's always fascinating to see these groups of christian pilgrims walking in the footsteps of jesus with such an excitement bringing in singing religious songs. there are fourteen stations of the cross and it ends at the impressive church of the holy sepulcher. there are many hidden corners in the old city and this is definitely one of my favorites we are facing the holiest sites in judaism temple mount and the western wall the only surviving section of the jewish temple above it lies the dome of the rock and that some was the third obvious in islam.

look at this so many people have come here to prayer even if you're not religious it's impossible not to be moved by what you're experiencing. it's customary to write a small prayer on a piece of paper and place it inside a crack on the wall of. course when you come to jerusalem you can miss yad vashem the biggest holocaust museum it is those memorial and place of commemoration for the six million jews who were killed in the holocaust. you look at these photos regardless where you come from and they remind you of your family your friends and your neighbors the holocaust was carried out by human

beings against other human beings and this is the story that this museum tries to tell. jerusalem is not just to see two or three inch into history and stories it's a modern city with a vibrant culture of life where people go out to help. other than along a busy day that we heard it's now time for killing one of the coupons we have in the city i invite you all to come here and enjoy these unforgettable cd serious crime. behind a jewish museum you'll find this lovely garden. it's this mine and yes that is we made it just for you what's in it this is a good this is the not completely because it has to bagels one with pastrami and

one with cream cheese and just a quick heads up you have to preorder the baskets because they pack them just for you. like about why is it not completely kosher the course of a cook you know should be required separating meat and dairy stuff you need separate cookware and utensils that there are kitchen counter for that so it's not quite kosher. meat but probably still delicious definitely. in berlin jewish history is all me present and with the past in mind it's all the more beautiful to see that the city is once again home to a flourishing jewish community today we all got to know it a bit better and i hope it was as interesting for you as it was for me that's it for today's edition my not completely kosher picnic basket is calling so i'm going to have to bid you guys for well thanks for watching and see you next time.
