5 stars ! Martin is knowledgable and knows how to explain important details. he opened up a whole world for us. He is kind and understanding
The tour guide, Dr. Martin Sauter, is highly knowledgeable about WW2 Jewish Berlin. He brought us through the neighborhood where Jewish families lived and were dragged to their deaths. Martin brought us closer to an understanding of this embarrassing episode of the human race.
Dear Howard, Thanks a lot for taking the time to write me a review! It was a delight guiding you and Orly, despite the sad and tragic topic. And please send my regards to Orly!
