The Jews are Back!
86 Years after Kristallnacht. Has Germany Changed?
With Rabbi Yitzchak Wagner
Lecture Overview
The first German-born Rabbi since the Holocaust will join us to describe the deep struggles that have contributed to the amazing resilience of Jewish life in Germany today.
Anti-Semitism, Philo-Semitism, Eurpoean Secularism, and Jewish Infrastructure in Contemporary Germany, are some of the issues Rabbi Wagner will address.
Presenting many photos and fascinating personal accounts, Rabbi Wagner will provide a brief synopsis of the history of the Shoah from the perspective of the medium-sized Jewish community of Krefeld. He will then speak about the state of Jews in Germany today.
Has Germany changed? Should Jews live there? These will be among the questions addressed.
Commemorating 86 years since Kristallnacht.
One of Germany's youngest community rabbis, and a dynamic lecturer, Rabbi Y.M. Wagner is the first ordained rabbi born in Germany after the Holocaust. He is also the first rabbi in his hometown of Krefeld in more than 70 years.
