Jewish Life in Germany
Germany’s relationship to its Jewish community is of profound importance to the country’s post-war reconciliation and the continuing process of coming to terms with its Nazi past. There are substantial efforts to revitalize the German-Jewish relationship so that a renewed Jewish culture may once again become a vibrant part of today’s Germany. The blossoming of Jewish cultural life in German is a testament to the success of these efforts.
Germany is home to the third largest number of Jews and the fastest growing Jewish population in Europe.
More than half a century after the Nazis almost succeeded at erasing all traces of Jewish life from German soil, there is, what Paul Spiegel, President of the Central Council of Jews in Germany has called, a small “Jewish renaissance.” Especially in Berlin, the nation’s bustling capital, one finds many forms of Jewish cultural life.
Munich, Dresden, and many smaller communities are witnessing a growth of their Jewish communities.
Today, Jewish studies are not just relegated to history classes.
