day 2. Excursion to Potsdam
We would suggest the following itinerary:
08h00 Transfer to Wannsee (on the route to Potsdam) and stop at House of the Wannsee Conference (daily opened from 10h00-18h00) and Liebermann-Villa
only outdoor visit possible
This was the site of one of the most notorious conferences in history: a meeting of Nazi bureaucrats and SS officials to plan the annihilation of European Jewry. The minutes of the conference were kept by Adolf Eichmann, the sallow-faced SS functionary who later mapped out transport logistics for sending millions of Jews to their deaths.
The villa is now a memorial to the Holocaust. It includes a selection of photographs of men, women, and children who were sent to concentration camps. This exhibit is not for the squeamish. Nearly all the pictures on display are official Nazi photographs, including some of Nazi medical experiments. As noted at the trials at Nürnberg, "No government in history ever did a better job of photographing and documenting its crimes against humanity."
The villa at Wannsee was painter Max Liebermann's summer house from 1910 till he died in 1935. Until autumn 2002 the German Underwater Club was based here. Since then the Max Liebermann Society in Berlin has been working to restore the house and garden.
It’s opened Friday from 02h00 till 6 pm and Saturday/Sunday from 11:00 am till 6:00 pm

Peter was fabulous. Had a lot of info about Jews in the area, including all
the Jewish cemeteries. He was a wonderful translator and very assertive in
asking locals information. We could not have asked for more. Thanks, Anne
