Museum of Otto Weidt’s Workshop for the Blind (Museum Blindenwerkstatt Otto Weidt)

The Museum of Otto Weidt’s Workshop for the Blind, located in Berlin, Germany, stands as a poignant tribute to an unsung hero of World War II. Otto Weidt, a visually impaired factory owner, operated a workshop that manufactured brooms and brushes, employing many blind and deaf Jewish workers. During the war, he risked his life to shield his employees from persecution and deportation. Today, visitors can explore the preserved workshop, gaining insight into the courageous actions and compassionate spirit of Otto Weidt, and the harrowing experiences of those he protected.
