Throughout Berlin there are many commemorative sites dedicated to the victims of National Socialism. There are so many you can literally stumble upon them. This museum is tucked away in what once was the thriving Jewish quarter of the city before the rise of Nazism. The museum is dedicated to Otto Weidt, the owner of a workshop for the deaf and blind. During the war years Weidt employed Jewish workers to prevent their deportation and produced brushes and brooms in the shop and today the museum is located in the old rooms of the workshop.
