Those who grew up Jewish in Germany after 1945 could take nothing for granted. The Jewish Museum Berlin asked twenty-eight Jews of different generations about their childhood and youth in Germany. Their personal vignettes and stories reveal a complex and contradictory panorama of Jewish life in today’s Germany.
