The Jewish Museum Berlin offers a variety of permanent and temporary exhibitions:
Our historical permanent exhibition chooses an unusual perspective on the history of Germany and German-speaking territories. Two Millennia of German Jewish History lets the visitor see Germany of the past and present through the eyes of the Jewish minority. This point of view presents well-known historical events with a new focus and greater complexity alongside the fates of individuals and families.
Special exhibitions illuminate select aspects of Jewish life: Particular moments in the course of history, special niche cultures, individual communities. Starting 23 March 2012, the exhibition Berlin Transit shows the German capital of the 1920s as a hub connecting East and West, as a place of refuge and a way station for tens of thousands of Jews from Eastern Europe.
At the Rafael Roth Learning Center, stories conceived as virtual exhibitions can be viewed, along with other formats, in computer alcoves.
