Lunch and Learn Enemy to Ally: The Many Lives of Berlin

IN PERSON- A Capital at War: Persecution, Resistance and Ruin

This session explores life in the German capital from 1939 to 1945, from the intensification of the persecution of Berlin’s Jews to the courage of those who resisted the regime. We’ll examine the experiences of civilians living under dictatorship and bombardment, the forced laborers, and the growing devastation of Allied air raids. As the war turned against Nazi Germany, Berlin became a battlefield, culminating in the final days of the Third Reich and the destruction of much of the city.
