This small memorial is in the old Jewish ghetto in Berlin, on the location where Einstein lived until he had to flee the holocaust. The memorial is all that remains of his house, as the whole area was levelled by Allied bombing.

Built in 1270, the Staronova, or Old-New, Synagogue is considered by many people to be the oldest in Europe. It's called the Old-New because an even older synagogue, the Old-Old, predated it, although it was demolished in 1867 to make room for the Spanish Synagogue, which still survives. Behind the Old-New, you can see the Jewish Town Hall, as Josefov, the former Jewish ghetto where this picture was taken was governed seperately during its years as a ghetto.
