Otto Weidt Museum (Museum Blindenwerkstatt Otto Weidt)

The Otto Weidt Museum, located in Berlin, Germany, commemorates the life and actions of Otto Weidt, a visually impaired factory owner who became an everyday hero during World War II. Weidt ran a broom and brush factory and employed blind and deaf members of the Jewish community. In a time of great peril, he risked his own safety to falsify documents and provide hiding places for his workers, helping to save them from persecution during the Holocaust. Today, visitors can explore the museum and gain insight into the courageous efforts of Otto Weidt and the lives of those he protected.
