What looks like a small park was in fact Berlin's first Jewish cemetery, destroyed by the Nazis in 1943. Some 12,000 people were buried here between 1672 and 1827, including the philosopher Moses Mendelssohn, although his tombstone is just a copy. Herman Goering was in charged of Hitler's "Final Solution". Not only did he not want any living Jews in Germany, he didn't want any dead ones either so he had all the graves of this cemetery dug up and the bodies destroyed. There is no one buried here now.

The Neue Synagogue, which opened in 1866, was designed in Moorish style and was Germany’s largest Synagogue. It was located in the center of the then large Jewish district, The “Scheunenviertel district” (Barn Quarter). The synagogue was desecrated during the infamous Kristallnacht pogrom in November 1938 and was totally destroyed in 1943 by allied bombing. It was finally demolished in 1958, and reconstruction was started in 1995, after the Berlin wall was demolished. Today, one can only visualize what a magnificent edifice this structure was from the restored façade –
Unfortunately, the interior doesn’t exist! However, the “interior” of The façade has been preserved by a glass enclosure (see photo) and the actual interior chamber is marked by stones indicate the enormous size of the building, which accommodated up to 3000 worshipers.
