We visited the Rykestraße Synagogue, the Jewish cemetery, the lapidarium and the orphanage founded by Baruch Auerbach on Schönhauser Allee (wall of remembrance).

Jörg Wild, head of PNJ: »We had an extremely inspiring and exciting conversation and gave our colleagues a very interesting insight into German-Israeli relations and Jewish life in Prenzlauer Berg.«
