The first Jewish Museum in Berlin was founded in1933 to curate Jewish history and feature collections of Jewish art.
The current Jewish Museum Berlin was opened in 2001 and consists of three buildings, two of which are new additions built explicitly for the museum.
German-Jewish history is documented in the collections, the library, and the archive, and is reflected in the museum’s program of events.
The permanent exhibition “Two Millennia of German Jewish History” presented Germany through the eyes of the Jewish community.
In the section on National Socialism, the emphasis was placed on how Jews reacted to the increasing discrimination against them, such as founding Jewish schools and social services.
