In the north of Berlin, tucked away in a residential area surrounded by walls, there is a jungle of trees, rhododendrons and ivy. In between the rampant foliage are thousands of stones – large and small, some artistic-looking, others simple, some magnificent and crumbling; some nameless and others with indecipherable inscriptions. Weißensee is the largest Jewish cemetery still in use in Europe. It is so large that it could contain approximately eighty-six football pitches. Walking through the cemetery is like taking a walk through history and the list of famous artists, philosophers, lawyers, architects, doctors, teachers of religion and publishers who are buried here is long indeed. Not many are aware that in a few years’ time, this protected area will officially be listed as one of UNESCO’s world heritage sites.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

I enjoyed this movie immensely. It tells the story of a Jewish cemetery in Berlin but much more than just that. It tells the story of some of the people that have a connection with it, the people that worked there, whose parents or grandparents are buried. It also gives an account of the 20th century in Berlim with historical footage showing the main events of the city's life. And it is not just a story about Jews but also about many other people: students, visitors and even of a young family that lives in the grounds. The work behind a cemetery as this one is quite huge and it is definitely a place I would like to visit if I go to Berlin again. It's a wonderful park in the middle of the city full of history. Really worth seeing.
