Two Cities, One War
Explore the impact of World War II on Berlin and Prague through ten days of historical sites, stories of persecution and resistance, and reflections on how both cities remember the past.
Understand One War Through Two Cities
Berlin was the centre of the Nazi regime; Prague experienced Nazi occupation. Visiting both cities offers complementary perspectives on the Second World War, the Holocaust and the consequences of dictatorship.
Guided walks, museums, memorial visits and planned academic discussions connect historical events with the places where they unfolded. The program also examines how these cities rebuilt and how remembrance continues to shape public life.
Examine Persecution and Historical Responsibility
In Berlin, investigate the rise of the Nazi regime and the institutions that organised its crimes. Visits to historical sites and memorials examine persecution, the Holocaust and Germany’s approach to historical responsibility.
Explore Occupation and Resistance
In Prague, examine everyday life under occupation, the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich and the fate of Jewish communities. Consider the choices and risks faced by those who resisted Nazi rule.
Connect Remembrance with Life Today
Compare how Berlin and Prague preserve historical sites and commemorate victims. Reflect on how museums, public spaces and education shape collective memory and understanding of democracy.
