The house was destroyed in the War, but there is a memorial plaque on her name in the new building. There are some tour companies offering tours in this area, so you can go there with a guide; look out for flyers on tours on "Weimer Berlin", the Roaring 1920s; etc. These tours, for example, should include these places: http://www.gablinger.com/jewishwest.htm http://www.gablinger.com/rock.html (this one would probably ne of lesser interest to you, though.) |
