Play the quiz game, Trails of Time, at your own pace as you solve puzzles and learn about the important spots in the former Jewish Quarter through the diary of Tamar's grandmother. Tamar was born in Tel Aviv but has never forgotten her roots in Hamburg. Tamar’s grandmother lived in the Grindel District before she emigrated to Israel after the war. She never spoke about her experiences during World War II, but her diaries speak volumes.

Only after her grandmother’s death did Tamar come into possession of her diaries and records, which she has been studying ever since and include handwritten entries, hard-to-read notes, old photos, and faded sketches.

Unfortunately, Tamar cannot come to Hamburg herself to explore her family’s history. To shed light on the darkness of the past, Tamar needs your help.
