“We dreamed of nothing but Enlightenment” – Moses Mendelssohn

Guided Tour Through the Exhibition for School Groups

Imagine you're fourteen years old. You see your future every­where, except in the place you call home. Far away, there’s a person you know, respect, and like. You follow him to Berlin. Once there, you find people who care about you. You learn, and soon you find work. You’re quite skilled; some people admire you and love your clear thinking and sense of justice. Some. Others despise you for being and wanting to remain Jewish. A friend pays literary tribute to you, calls you “Nathan the Wise,” and asks you: What is the meaning of tolerance?

Dive into Moses Mendelssohn's journey as an Enlighten­ment thinker and law-abiding Jew and into the era's historical debates on the emanci­pation of Jews, the separation of state and religion, and the rights of minorities.
