Berlin played quite a significant role in the sad events of WWII, when great atrocities were committed against Jews.

The Jewish museum – which is designed to reflect some somberness - was built to pay homage to that sad part of the city's history.

The Jewish museum is located at Lindenstrasse 9-14 and is open everyday of the week between 10 am and 8pm – except on Monday, when the opening hours are extended to 10 pm.

Children are allowed free entry into the museum, but adults are charged a nominal fee for the museum’s maintenance.

More information on the Jewish museum can be found at its website: www.juedisches-museum-berlin.de and on phone number (0)30 2599 3300 and email: info@jmberlin.de
