New Synagogue Berlin - Centrum Judaicum Foundation
Taking up the tradition of the New Synagogue, the New Synagogue Berlin - Centrum Judaicum Foundation sees itself as a link connecting the past and the future. A "bet ha-knesset", a synagogue, has always been more than a place of prayer. It is a place to congregate, teach and study. With this in mind, Centrum Judaicum has the task to assemble and address the history of the Jews in and around Berlin. It seeks to recall the achievements of the Jewish people and preserve the memory of the Jews who were murdered. Relevant documents are archived, evaluated, and published. In this context, the Foundation works with other Jewish and non-Jewish institutions. In addition to the permanent exhibition, temporary exhibitions serve to make Jewish history concrete and tangible. Centrum Judaicum is a source of information on Jewish life, and by formulating Jewish positions on the concerns of our time, it acts as a bridge between East and West European Jewry.

Moreover, the Foundation serves as an advisor to the State of Berlin in all matters relating to these issues. The Topography of Terror Foundation, which grew out of a temporary exhibition project, has had a long and eventful history. Its establishment was the result of an extended and controversial exchange of ideas, in which the unwavering support of social groups and individuals played an important role and put an end to the many years of repression and forgetting.

A special emphasis is put on the relational history of Jews with their non-Jewish surroundings. Research work concentrates on the problems of social integration and acculturation of Jews (Haskala research) as well as on comparative socio-historical approaches (living conditions, geographic and social mobility), socio-cultural aspects, and aspects of the history of ideas (literature, arts, religion, philosophy, music).
