Essay from the year 2006 in the subject Didactics - English - Applied Geography, grade: 1, IDC (IDC), language: English, abstract: Today, more than 100.000 Jews live in Germany. The Jewish world in Germany, with 83 local communities, is the third largest in Western Europe and the fastest growing in the world after Israel itself. After the horrors of the Shoah, this comes close to being a miracle. Jews have lived in Germany for almost 2.000 years, ever since Roman times, and the Jewish history and heritage in Germany are amazingly rich and diverse. However, the German-Jewish relationship will forever be marked by the Shoah. The memories will never disappear, and the Jewish people¿s relationship with Germany will for a long time, if not forever be strongly influenced by the Shoah.
