Trains To Life Trains To Death

"Trains to Life, Trains to Death" is a powerful and moving memorial that tells the story of the deportation of Jews from Berlin to Nazi concentration camps during World War II. This poignant site honors the victims who were forcibly taken from their homes and sent on trains to their deaths, symbolizing the cruelty and inhumanity of the Nazi regime. The memorial is dedicated to remembering those who suffered and perished, serving as a reminder of the horrors of the Holocaust and the importance of preserving history to prevent such atrocities from ever happening again.

Ariel did an excellent job! He is very thorough and a wealth of knowledge. He was able to answer every question in detail, anyone in the group had. He made sure we got a short 15 minute coffee restroom break in the middle. This was very much needed. Being able to keep a group of 10+ people engaged isn’t always easy - and he accomplished it with such ease. Book this tour! No regrets!

We had Will as our tour guide and he was brilliant! Really knowledgeable and really made the tour fun! Answered all of our questions and just made everyone feel so welcome. The tour seemed to fly over and Will was incredibly engaging and clearly loved his job! We covered so much of the history of the Third Reich and were not rushed, we were allowed to take our time and ask any questions we wanted, which were answered swiftly and with so much knowledge! I would recommend this tour to anyone, Will was great and we really enjoyed ourselves!

Excellent tour by Canadian Chris. Hugely knowledgeable on Third Reich issues, he brought alive the lasting impact of the Reich’s legacy, the Russian impact, and how the modern city bears these historical realities. Excellent to visit the Sinti/Roma memorial and to give proper attention to the Soviet memorial. A fascinating morning which Chris led with brilliant factoids and good humor. Strongly recommended for those seeking a historical perspective on Berlin’s amazing sites. Chris was a mine if information and answered my many questions authoritatively. Three hours passed without ever looking at my watch, so a very absorbing time. A must for any visitor with an enquiring mind and very cost effective compared to ploughing through guidebooks
Every emotion will be felt on this tour. I promise!

I’d like to truly thank Canadian Chris for his incredible tour today. Coming from Sydney Australia, I really had a limited understanding of the devastating consequences of the Hitler days and wars in this country. I had every emotion on show today. Such sadness with the death, anger at how people were treated, grateful that the city is rebuilding itself and a little bit of fun thrown in from Chris sharing such amazing stories. (Love the Regan statue one). Hello to his Mum who I know reads his reviews. Your Son is a true professional. Very patient with some many people from so many countries/languages and so knowledgeable with all that is Germany. I can highly recommend this tour.

We did the Third Reich walking tour with Paul today and it was excellent. He was incredibly informative, giving clear historical context that really helped us understand the places, events, and decisions that shaped this period. Despite the somber and difficult subject matter, Paul managed to keep the tour engaging and accessible, striking a perfect balance between sensitivity and storytelling. We came away having learned a lot, with a much deeper sense of the history behind the city. I highly recommend this tour and especially Paul to anyone visiting Berlin.
