About
This is a public guided tour at the Jewish Museum Berlin. It covers the origins of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1948 after the UN Human Rights Commission was founded in 1946 in the wake of the crimes of the National Socialists. The tour looks at how individual articles of the declaration emerged in the context of German-Jewish history and asks what connections exist between human rights and Jewish traditions. It draws an arc from the image of humanity in the Torah to freedom of religion, the prohibition of discrimination, and the right to asylum and freedom of movement.
