The Hub of Jewish Life
The Hub of Jewish Life
Grosse Hamburger Strasse was once the hub of life in Jewish Berlin. In 1941-42 at the home at Nos. 25-26, Nazis assembled Berlin's last 50,000 Jews to be transported to concentration camps. Of the oldest Jewish cemetery in the city, which dated to 1672, only a green lawn and a few gravestones mark what the Nazis destroyed. In the early 1700s, the Jewish community donated part of the cemetery grounds so that the Protestant Sophienkirche (1712) could be built next door.
