This podcast—led and produced by Bella Staal, who is joined in discussion by Avia Hailey and Caroline Livaditis—examines the Rebellious Berlin walking tour led by Jessica Eitelberg, who has been offering tours in Berlin for ten years. When she moved to Berlin with a Bachelor's degree in International Studies and a Masters degree in Migration and Ethnic Studies, she was fascinated by the variety of historical events and the fusion of different cultures that make up this city. Protest history, Jewish history, resistance in National Socialism, and histories of migration are her favorite topics. She is bilingual in German and English and also speaks fluently Spanish and Dutch. The Rebellious Berlin tour examines protest from below, the broad history of uprisings and resistance that ranges from the "Berlin indignation" in the 15th century, the March Revolution in 1848, the events of the November Revolution 1918-19, the 17th of June in 1953, the 1968 movement, and the so-called peaceful revolution until into the present.
