Jews have lived in Frankfurt continuously for nearly 900 years, longer than in any other German city. They worked as merchants, bankers, politicians, philanthropists, artists and scientists. In 1949, after the National Socialist devastation, the Jewish community was re-established and played an important role in the economic development of the city.
My Partner Guide, Barbara and myself will be happy to show you the Jewish Frankfurt.
She is very experienced and knowledgable to this sensitive subject.
We will get to the SHUM cities (Speyer, Worms & Mainz) in another blog!
