NIGHT WALKING TOUR - JERUSALEM IN THE SHADOW OF THE SWASTIKA


17.08.2021

The streets of Jerusalem hold many secrets. Our fantastic tour guide Boris Dolin revealed to us many of them, including the history of the German colony, one of the first districts outside the walls of the Old City. Deeply religious Germans came to the Holy Land to farm and lived according to Christian commandments. They bought land, built houses, and carefully managed their households, as only the Germans could do. But somehow these devout, peaceful, hardworking German Templars also become a branch of the Third Reich in Jerusalem. It was a fascinating tour and evening.
