"Berlin’s German Resistance Memorial Center, close to Potsdamer Platz, recounts the city’s tales of resistance against the Nazis. The center is in the Bendlerblock, a historic military building where the expansion of the German navy was planned during the reign of Kaiser Wilhelm II and the role of the German army was reassessed during the Weimar Republic. In addition, several of those involved in the July Bomb Plot to murder Adolf Hitler and bring down the Nazi regime in 1944 were executed in the building’s courtyard. Apermanent exhibition, spread across a couple of atmospheric floors, documents the bravery, as well as the diversity, of those who fought against the Nazi dictatorship."

It is a very moving exhibit although I was disappointed that they have altered the physical office locations of stauffenberg and other key Resistance members.

Lots of information and documentation on resistance forces and groups in Germany and other European countries against Nazi. Bookstore has books that published with first hand material. Very educational.

Fascinating and thought provoking. The courtyard where Stauffenberg and the others were executed has an eerie and melancholic atmosphere. This is a must for visitors to Berlin who are interested in WW2 and the history of the Third Reich. Allow at least two hours to do justice to this museum.

One of the best museums I've visited. Very informative and visual. I spent here 1,5h but 3h would have been the appropriate time. Tells a story of the forgotten true heros of wartime.

A very quiet memorial to the German resistance during WW2, the courtyard is mostly empty except for a statue and two plaques, still amazing to realise that the building is still standing. The museum had a lot of good information and was free, however there were few artifacts. Worth a visit if you are interested in WW2 history.

To think of it as the "too little, too late" Museum does not do justice the impressive amount of research that has gone into this place and the courage of the people and actions documented at this historic location. Presention is a bit dry; patience is required.

Historical place and great tribute to those who tried to resist the Nazi’s at the end of the war. Amazing to be able to stand on this ground. Very well preserved as it was on July 20, 1944. Also represented in the movie Operation Valkyrie starring Tom Cruise. They used this very location in the movie. A must see when visiting Berlin, especially those interested in World War II.

The German Resistance Memorial Museum is free to the public. A somber and formidable exhibition! A potent, powerful reminder of the evil of Nazism unleashed upon humanity. These extraordinary individuals, groups who stood up against the hate and paid with their lives. These sacred stories rise up from their graves as a stark warning to heed in these dark, tumultuous times.
