Foundation Director Uwe Neumärker: “We are pleased to finally be able to give visitors access to the exhibition again, despite the very tight conditions. After guided tours of the Holocaust Memorial have been taking place since 25 May 2020 – with great resonance – we have decided to expand our free offer at the same time as the reopening of the exhibition. In addition to the daily guided tours at 3 p.m., there will now be more at 11 a.m. A free city walk, every Sunday at 12 o’clock, gives a variety of insights into the Berlin landscape of remembrance and leads to the monuments in the vicinity of the Holocaust Memorial, including the Sinti-and-Roma monument or the memorial site for the “euthanasia” victims.”
