Focused Itinerary: The History of the Nazis & the Holocaust, Berlin
Discover the horror and persecutions of the Nazi era
Whilst our all-encompassing school history trips to Berlin cover a broad spectrum of themes, we can tailor your itinerary to a specific area of the curriculum – in this case the History of the Nazis and the Holocaust. You’ll focus on the rise and fall of the Nazis, Hitler’s dictatorship and one of the world’s most brutal genocides, the Holocaust.
With visits to museums and memorials dedicated to the Jews, as well as key political sites where life-changing decisions were made, you’ll gain a profound insight into Nazi Germany and those who lived through it. While you’re here, why not look at our specialist itinerary for the Impact of the Cold War in Berlin?
