Events

On November 9 and 10, 2025, we mark the anniversary of the antisemitic terror of the November Pogroms of 1938. These days represented a turning point in Nazi violence: open terror against Jewish people, the destruction of synagogues and businesses, and the deportation of tens of thousands of individuals to concentration camps marked the beginning of a development that ultimately led to mass deportations and the Holocaust.

On this occasion, the Ravensbrück Memorial Museum and the Stolpersteine Berlin project invite you to join a walking tour through the former Scheunenviertel in Berlin-Mitte on November 9. The focus will be on the biographies of Jenny and Stefanie Herszenberger, Lea Steinwasser, and Martha Ndumbe, who were imprisoned in Ravensbrück concentration camp. Through their stories, we remember the women who became victims of antisemitic violence and Nazi persecution.

In addition to the biographies of these four women, the tour will also explore the history of the Scheunenviertel as a center of Eastern European Jewish life in Berlin. This neighborhood was where these women lived and moved through their daily lives. The tour will trace how this space was radically transformed and destroyed by the Nazi regime’s policies of persecution and murder.

The walking tour covers approximately 2.8 km and lasts about two hours. The event will be held in German.

Registration is required. The event is free of charge
