Designed after the well-known Pantheon in Rome, Hedwig’s Cathedral was built in response to the increase in Catholic immigrants into Berlin after the Protestant Reformation in the 18th century. 200 years later, after the notorious Jewish persecution known as Kristallnacht in November of 1938, the bishop of the cathedral prayed publicly for all of the Jews. He was subsequently jailed and died before arriving at his destintion—a concentration camp. His remains were transferred back to the church where they were placed in the famous tomb which can be found inside. Berlin
