We Were Neighbors

 At the Schoeneberg City Hall, where John F. Kennedy held his famous "Ich bin ein Berliner" speech, a reading room houses the 'Wir Sind Nachbarn' exhibition. This exhibition, which started as a local initiative, tells the stories of Jewish families and individuals who lived in the Schoeneberg and Tempelhof neighborhoods and who were deported to their death or managed to survive by hiding or fleeing abroad. All the stories that appear in the exhibition (I didn't count but there are many) come with copies of original documents, pictures, letters etc. On the walls are thousands and thousands of cards, mentioning the addresses (alphabetically) the addresses of families who were expelled of their homes, often with the place to were they were deported or managed to flee. Those cards are the work of one man, one of the volunteers who works at the exhibition told me. Unfortunately, the vast majority of the stories (including some videos with testimonies) are in German, one of the video testimonies is in English, and some stories are summarized in English.
