Topography of Terror – Documentation Center
Niederkirchnerstraße 8, 10963 Berlin
They are organizing four guided walks through the capital, which will provide an insight into the work of provenance researchers at the individual cultural institutions and, at various places along the tours, point out visible remnants of the Nazi dictatorship and the fates of persecuted individuals.
The first walk begins at 10 am at the Topography of Terror Documentation Center and leads to the library of the Jewish Museum Berlin, where Elisabeth Weber, a provenance researcher at the JMB, will introduce artist Arno Nadel, a Jewish forced laborer who kept a diary on Nazi book theft.
The full program of all four walks can be found on the website of the Berlin State Library (in German)
