The memorial also features an inscription detailing the events that took place at this location, providing context and educating visitors about the courage of those women who risked their safety to stand up for their families.

We had a great tour with Ioana. She was very knowledgeable and accommodating. She was able to show us many things that we would not have been able to see on her own. I highly recommend her tour.
Best tour in Germany
Published on Dec, 2023
This was the best tour we took during our Germany tour. Our tour guide Zvika was amazing. He was incredibly enthusiastic and knowledgeable on Jewish history in Germany. He was very interested in our family history in Germany and did a wonderful job of helping us get around the city/ understanding the history of Jews in Germany. I would highly recommend to both Jews and non-jews.
