The Topography of Terror and the Mahn- und Gedenkstatte Steinwache Dortmund have much more extensive information on the German resistance to the Nazis. Also the signs to find this museum are nearly non-existent as if they don't want tourists to visit this museum. Initial floor of the museum is all in German and the next floor has some text in...

Unlike the Jewish Museum up the road, this memorial to Germans who stood up to the Nazis isnt in a jazzy terribly expensive new bit of architecture but a boring ministry building, doesnt have cafes with huge lines waiting for their over priced cappucino, isnt stuffed full of tourists waving cameras - you'll have the place largely to yourself -...

This free museum is off the normal tourist route but is well worth a visit if you are interested in 1930s/1940s history. Located in part of the Bendler Block military HQ which survived the bombing, the museum gives a history of those in Germany who opposed the Nazi regime. There are numerous displays and photographs of opposition from the time... More

The Museum of German Resistance is both an uplifting and also a depressing account of the resistance which German citizens and soldiers presented to the Naxis. What I hadn´t realised is quite how many different people and organisations (the church, union activists, students, teachers, ordinary citizens etc) took on the dictator and his brutal henchmen, which helps dispel the idea...

There’s always so much history to be found in Berlin. This is a very worthwhile museum. Plenty of things to read, most with English translations. I spent about 2 hours here and it wasn’t really enough time. I didn’t know anything about Sophie Scholl, or the White Rose, until now. I believe that the English got hold of some copies... More

The German Resistance is a very interesting topic. The wife wanted to go to at least see the area where Tom Cruise was shot in Valkyrie but the museum offers much more. The photos alone with translation tell a story of people struggling to resist the madness. Remember also that this museum is free so take a chance and maybe... More

When my wife and I went at least 50% of the information displayed in the museum was in German only; however, do not let that make you miss this gem. Side Note: My family members are located in room 16 - Hans and Sophie Scholl. Lastly, we went to the front desk and bought a great book in English that... More

This was part of walking tour with did with Insider Tours while in Berlin, but due to time constraints we didn't get to spend long there so we went back ourselves the following day. Only part of the information is in English so far as it's fairly new and they are still in the process of translating everything, but even... More

This is the place where Staufenberg and others where shot after their failed attempt to kill Hitler. The museum has extensive exhibitions on the resistance movement during the Nazi regime. Most of it is not in English though.

We were told about this museum by another fan of Berlin.The story of the unsung Resistance to the Nazis and details about the attempted assassination of Hitler. It is both thought provoking and informative and a must visit attraction if you want to reall learn about the others Germans who were against the Nazis.
