What's the walk about?

Welcome to a sober and respectful journey through the old heart of Hamburg, tracing the years between 1933 and 1945. This is not a walk of monuments to glory, but of remembrance. Together we will follow the arc of dictatorship, persecution, and destruction: from the Nazi seizure of power and the Gestapo headquarters at the Stadthaus, to the Grindel quarter where the Bornplatz Synagogue burned on Kristallnacht, and the sites from which Hamburg's Jewish citizens were deported. At the heart of it all stands the bombed-out Mahnmal St. Nikolai, preserved to remember the firestorm of Operation Gomorrah in July 1943. We walk slowly, and we walk to remember.
