Hola, soy Mary, guía turística profesional especializada en historia de las ideologías, la Europa de los siglos XIX y XX y ciencias políticas. Llevo cuatro años viviendo en Berlín, donde adquirí mi primera experiencia como guía turística trabajando para la empresa líder en el mercado comercial. Crecí en Varsovia, donde mis raíces judías/polacas y la experiencia familiar me impulsaron a interesarme profundamente por la historia europea. Estudié en el Collegium MISH de la Universidad de Varsovia, que permite a estudiantes con amplios intereses académicos combinar clases de todas las facultades en un programa individual e interdisciplinario. Tuve la suerte de aprender de algunos de los mejores historiadores, sociólogos y otros autores contemporáneos, lo que me proporcionó un alto nivel de comprensión de la historia moderna y una sólida capacidad para analizar sus consecuencias. Posteriormente, trabajando como enlace con periodistas, pude intercambiar experiencias con periodistas de todo el mundo y de diversos contextos culturales, y practicar la explicación de temas sociohistóricos complejos de forma accesible pero exhaustiva. En un mundo con tanta tensión política, decidí dedicar mi vida a transmitir la mayor cantidad posible de estos conocimientos. Ahora ofrezco mis tours independientes intentando contrarrestar la tendencia actual de maximizar las ganancias sacrificando la precisión histórica. Tras la desregulación de la profesión, se convirtió en norma promocionar narrativas problemáticas o incluso engañosas como si representaran la más alta calidad académica. Es fácil explotar el hecho de que los invitados, que casi nunca son historiadores de formación, simplemente "no saben lo que no saben". Mi objetivo es combinar mi formación, mi experiencia profesional y familiar para ofrecer una explicación comprensible incluso de los procesos y fenómenos más complejos que moldearon a Alemania y al mundo tal como es hoy. Espero que me acompañen y disfruten de una experiencia no solo entretenida, sino también realmente valiosa en mi tour.
Not the typical tour. Mary has a deep knowledge and understanding about the last century history and politics in Berlin. She gives a personal approach which made it very interesting to me. This is not the typical "quick and easy" tour to get to the main touristic attractions, take a nice picture and continue. It's more about getting to know the reality and sometimes the not-so-nice past of Germany and Berlin. I really enjoyed it
Mary is a very enthusiastic and involved guide who mingles her personal family story with European history, especially German, fascism and communist/USSR/DDR history. A connection between the history and the contemporary global political and social direction we are experiencing today is made and obvious. This all is familiar to us and it is always shocking to feel and see what huge destructions of nazism, communism, capitalism and nationalism brought us and bring us today in Israel, USA, Europe, Ukraine and Iran. History is repeating itself and we can see and feel how Mary is emotionally involved by this. Fortunately we have democratic systems which can be frustrating but also standing against anti-democratic forces like we see in Hungary today. Thank you for being our guide!
This was an excellent tour. Mary is the most passionate guide we have ever had! She brings together history, sociology, economics and politics to make us really think about how the past is reflected in the current day. This was a longer tour but there were many stopping spots to sit and listen as well as a well timed snack break part way through. Overall highly recommended.
I was with my friend and we were very satisfied with what we heard on the tour. We are from ex Yugoslavia with inheritance of communism and socialism which were main topics on the tour. I can say that information was very precise and very good explained. Very interesting stories connecting past with present, real life examples which gave us good understanding of current situation in Berlin comparing to the past. It is different than other tours as is not simply informative (that can be googled) but diving into deep social - cultural - economics aspects with real life examples. I want to thank to guru Mary for the very good stories, very good narative and her kindness!
The tour was presented with a depth of knowledge and also with elements of genuine emotion on some of the difficult topics that the tour entails. I would say that this tour best suits individuals with a humanist and social justice perspective on this tumultuous and challenging history.
