You found yourself in Berlin in 1920 and this is what happens...

In the 1920s, a loaf of bread in Berlin was worth 200 billion marks, and there were more than a hundred nightclubs on the same street where beggars were dying of cold. A city where cocaine was sold in vending machines, and 13 years later books were burned in squares. The story of one generation that went from absolute freedom to absolute annihilation — and all in 25 years. Berlin in the 1920s was the freest city in Europe. Hyperinflation turned money into trash — the salary was given out twice a day, because by the evening it was devalued. People carried money in wheelbarrows and used them to heat stoves. But in the same city, nightlife was booming, which Europe had never seen before: a travesty show, jazz until dawn, an open LGBT scene. The Magnus Hirschfeld Institute of Sexology performed the world's first sex reassignment surgery. You will learn how rich people held feasts on one street, and two meters from their doors, fourteen-year-old girls sold themselves for a loaf of bread. How the 1936 Olympics deceived the whole world by showing a prosperous Germany — and three years later, the World War began. How on May 10, 1933, students burned 25,000 books on Opera Square, and Heinrich Heine wrote a hundred years before that: where books are burned, people will be burned. You will see the Crystal Night, when thousands of shops were destroyed in two nights, and the streets were covered with glass fragments, which gave the pogrom its name. You will find out how fewer than 9,000 of the 160,000 Berlin Jews survived. How Hitler married Eva Braun in a bunker 10 days before his suicide, while 2.5 million Soviet soldiers stormed the city overhead. And you'll see the finale.: 75 percent of buildings have been destroyed, and two million survivors are clearing the rubble with their bare hands. A city that has gone from cabarets to concentration camps, from jazz to ruins in 25 years. #history #Berlin #World War II #Weimar Republic #Third Century #History of Germany #Hitler #Holocaust #Historical facts #Shocking history #Nazism #History of Europe #Weimar #Battle of Berlin #History of cities #documentaryevideo #World War II #historyevideo #Berlin1945 #History of the 20th century Which fact of this story shocked you the most?
