As a citizen of Berlin, it is important to deal with the history and the various aspects of life in our city. The series of events offers a valuable opportunity to reflect on the past and to discuss how it shapes our present. Especially in Berlin, which is rich in history, it is crucial to understand the local history and learn from the experiences of others.

The event is carried out in cooperation with various local partners who are committed to democracy, diversity and against anti -Semitism. This shows the strong commitment of the Berlin community for the processing of history and the promotion of tolerance and understanding in our society.
