EUROPE'S OLDEST JEWISH CEMETERY in FRANKFURT, GERMANY ✡️
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's go visit the very historic Jewish Cemetery in Frankfurt, Germany, which dates back to the year 1272, as evidenced by the few remaining gravestones. It is among the oldest of its kind in Europe. By 1828, space had been exhausted and the cemetery, containing nearly 7000 graves, had to be closed.
In 1942 the National Socialists demolished approximately 4666 gravestones and piled up the rubble for removal, which you are going to see in this video here. 175 gravestones were removed, among them is the gravestone of Mayer Amschel Rothschild, founder of the banking dynasty.
Frankfurt, a central German city on the river Main, is a major financial hub that's home to the European Central Bank. It's the birthplace of famed writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, whose former home is now the Goethe House Museum. Like much of the city, it was damaged during World War II and later rebuilt. The reconstructed Altstadt (Old Town) is the site of Römerberg, a square that hosts an annual Christmas market.
Germany is a Western European country with a landscape of forests, rivers, mountain ranges and North Sea beaches. It has over 2 millennia of history. Berlin, its capital, is home to art and nightlife scenes, the Brandenburg Gate and many sites relating to WWII. Munich is known for its Oktoberfest and beer halls, including the 16th-century Hofbräuhaus. Frankfurt, with its skyscrapers, houses the European Central Bank.

Germany Trip (2018) - Berlin (Brandenburg Gate, Victory Column, Holocaust Memorial, Berlin Dome)
This was not my first time in Berlin, but it was always one of the most beautiful cities I've visited. I've always wanted to make a proper homage to the place so I've made this video. Me and two good friends visited the city last weekend and we've stayed around the area of Mitte, which is considered as the central borough of Berlin and contains most of the city's important landmarks.
Our adventure starts and also ends at Brandenburg Gate. It is considered as the most famous landmark of Berlin and is now a symbol of peace and unity. From there, we took a City Tour bus to visit some of the most important areas of Berlin. Just naming a few places, we saw the remains of the Berlin Wall, the East Side Gallery, Alexanderplatz and much much more! It is a great and fast way to visit the city!
One of the most important parts of the adventure was our visit to the Tiergarten, Berlin's largest and most popular inner-city park. In this park, you can find historical landmarks such as the Victory Column and the Beethoven-Haydn-Mozart Memorial. There is also the important Soviet War Memorial that commemorates the fallen Soviet soldiers who fell in the Battle of Berlin in April to May 1945
The last area that we've visited was the Holocaust Memorial. I will not lie, I felt uncomfortable & distressed walking down the tall slabs of concrete trying to find my way out. It is a powerful landmark that sends a very powerful message. When visiting the museum inside, I had to sit down at one point because it was very hard to read about the history of what happened during the war. I will never forget this visit to the memorial and it's easily my highlight of the trip.
Thanks for watching and I hope the footage in this video will make you want to visit this beautiful city one day.

Germany: Protesters denounce AfD supporters at Holocaust memorial event
Subscribe to our channel! rupt.ly/subscribe
A group of protesters tried to confront the supporters of the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) at the commemoration event in memory of the victims of the Holocaust in Berlin's Marzahn district on Saturday, just two days ahead of the International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
The protesters who denounced the presence of the AfD supporters were filmed marching and later trying to break through the police cordon with flags of the Auschwitz concentration camp and placards reading No space for far-right agitation.
The demonstration was organised by the Union of Persecutees of the Nazi Regime and the Antifa movement under the motto No commemorations to the Nazi victims with the AfD.
Earlier this week, Volkhard Knigge, director of the Buchenwald Memorials Foundation, banned the AfD politicians from attending a commemoration event at the site of the former Buchenwald concentration camp on Holocaust Remembrance Day.

JERUSALEM: THE CHILDREN'S HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL, the YAD VASHEM REMEMBRANCE CENTER ✡️
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's visit the Children's Memorial at the Yad Vashem Holocaust Remembrance Center in Jerusalem. This unique memorial, hollowed out from an underground cavern, is a tribute to the Jewish children who were murdered during the Holocaust. Memorial candles, a customary Jewish tradition to remember the dead, are reflected infinitely in a dark and somber space, creating the impression of millions of stars shining in the firmament. The names of murdered children, their ages and countries of origin can be heard in the background.
Jerusalem is a city in the Middle East, located on a plateau in the Judaean Mountains between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea. It is one of the oldest cities in the world, and is considered holy to the three major Abrahamic religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

GERMANY: FRANKFURT: BUBIS - TRIBUTE CEREMONY HELD
German/Nat
Germany's Chancellor has honoured the late Jewish leader Ignatz Bubis as a moral authority who won respect in Germany and abroad for his untiring defence of minorities.
Gerhard Schroeder joined several hundred people, including prominent Jewish and political leaders, at Frankfurt's West End Synagogue to pay tribute to Bubis on Tuesday.
Bubis died of cancer on August 13. He was 72.
Prominent Jewish and political leaders packed the West End Synagogue in Frankfurt for the memorial service for the late Jewish community leader Ignatz Bubis.
Bubis died of cancer on August 13 and was buried in Tel Aviv, Israel, two days later.
Tuesday's ceremony took place after the traditional 30-day mourning period.
Bubis was head of the Central Council of German Jews for seven years and became a respected commentator on the moral questions facing German society.
SOUNDBITE: (German)
Ignatz Bubis has been involved in German Jewish understanding like no one else, not because he was caught in abstract and philosophical ideas, but because humanity directed his deeds.
SUPER CAPTION: Charlotte Knobloch, Vice-President of Germany's National Jewish Council
Bubis reacted angrily in 1995 when Israeli President Ezar Weizman questioned him on how any Jew could live in Germany, where the perpetrators of the Holocaust lived.
But in the months before his death Bubis did begin to express despair that anti-Semitism was returning to the mainstream of German society.
He took offence at a speech by the writer Martin Walser who said the memory of the Holocaust was used to keep Germans in their place.
Chancellor Schroeder recalled Bubis' constant calls for tolerance and understanding.
SOUNDBITE: (German)
Dearest Mrs Bubis, dearest Mr President, dearest Council, Ignatz Bubis has taught us moral and political responsibility, he has sharpened our senses for tolerance, understanding and for opening up to the world. His voice will not be forgotten and will always be heard as a reminder of our own responsibilities.
SUPER CAPTION: Gerhard Schroeder, German Chancellor
Despite having lost his father and siblings in the Treblinka concentration camp, Bubis returned to Germany to live and teach love thy neighbour as thyself, as Schroeder said.
Under Bubis' encouragement, Germany's Jewish community more than doubled in the last seven years.
It has grown from 29-thousand to about 70-thousand, many of them ethnic Germans from areas of the former Soviet Union.
National Jewish Council board member Michel Friedman said the growth of the Jewish community demonstrated the trust Bubis spread through his message of tolerance.
SOUNDBITE: (German)
Ignatz Bubis was a person who learned and taught and to whom the youth was important, because he was convinced that children are not born anti-Semitic or racist and because he loved people.
SUPER CAPTION: Michel Friedman, Germany's National Jewish Council board member
Bubis regularly spoke to German school classes telling them they were not guilty.
But he also told them it was their responsibility to prevent it from happening again.
Though Bubis chose to return to Germany and live his life there, he asked to be buried in Israel.
He feared anti- Semitists would desecrate his grave as they had done to his predecessor, Heinz Galinski.
Galinski's tombstone in Berlin was damaged by a bomb in December.
No one has been arrested for the attack.

Germany: Hooligans vandalize Berlin Holocaust Memorial
Hooligans partying, setting off fireworks and urinating on the renowned
Holocaust Memorial in the centre of Berlin were captured on phone footage
on New Year's Eve. The defiling happened as the open air New Year's Eve
party at the iconic Brandenburg Gate was taking place.
The German Holocaust Memorial is the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of
Europe, honouring and remembering the six million Jewish victims of the
Holocaust. The memorial consists of thousands of rectangular gray concrete
monuments and covers a ground area similar to Trafalgar square in London.
The perpetrators have not been identified at this time.

GERMANY: The NAZI CONCENTRATION CAMP of DACHAU, all areas shown
SUBSCRIBE: - Dachau, the first Nazi concentration camp, opened in 1933, shortly after Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) became chancellor of Germany. Located in southern Germany, Dachau initially housed political prisoners; however, it eventually evolved into a death camp where countless thousands of Jews died from malnutrition, disease and overwork or were executed. In addition to Jews, the camp’s prisoners included members of other groups Hitler considered unfit for the new Germany, including artists, intellectuals, the physically and mentally handicapped and homosexuals. With the advent of World War II (1939-45), some able-bodied Dachau prisoners were used as slave labor to manufacture weapons and other materials for Germany’s war efforts. Additionally, some Dachau detainees were subjected to brutal medical experiments by the Nazis. U.S. military forces liberated Dachau in late April 1945.
Germany is a Western European country with a landscape of forests, rivers, mountain ranges and North Sea beaches. It has over 2 millennia of history. Berlin, its capital, is home to art and nightlife scenes, the Brandenburg Gate and many sites relating to WWII. Munich is known for its Oktoberfest and beer halls, including the 16th-century Hofbräuhaus. Frankfurt, with its skyscrapers, houses the European Central Bank.

The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe is a memorial in Berlin to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust, designed by architect Peter Eisenman and engineer Buro Happold. It consists of a 19,000 square meter ( acre) site covered with 2,711 concrete slabs or stelae, arranged in a grid pattern on a sloping field.
According to Eisenman's project text, the stelae are designed to produce an uneasy, confusing atmosphere, and the whole sculpture aims to represent a supposedly ordered system that has lost touch with human reason. A 2005 copy of the Foundation for the Memorial's official English tourist pamphlet, however, states that the design represents a radical approach to the traditional concept of a memorial, partly because Eisenman did not use any symbolism. An attached underground Place of Information holds the names of all known Jewish Holocaust victims, obtained from the Israeli museum Yad Vashem.
It was inaugurated on May 10, 2005, sixty years after the end of World War II, and opened to the public on May 12 of the same year. It is located one block south of the Brandenburg Gate, in the Friedrichstadt neighborhood.

Auf der gewellten Grundfläche wurden 2711 Betonquader in parallelen Reihen aufgestellt. Bei identischem Grundriss sind die Stelen unterschiedlich hoch, der schwerste wiegt etwa 16 Tonnen. Der Entwurf stammt von Peter Eisenman.
Ein unterirdisches Museum (Ort der Information) ergänzt den Komplex. Es enthält unter anderem eine Liste aller Namen der bekannten jüdischen Holocaustopfer. Es besteht aus Ausstellungsräumen, Vortragsräumen und einem Buchladen.
Das Berliner Holocaust-Mahnmal erhielt 2007 den Preis des American Institute of Architects, den Institute Honor Award, der als höchste Anerkennung für Architektur in den USA gilt.

Walking through the Holocaust Memorial (Berlin, Germany)
The Holocaust survivors who tried to take revenge with mass murder Germany
A new documentary with never-before-seen footage and evidence will detail how a group of concentration camp survivors, known as the Avengers, planned to poison six million Germans as retribution for the Holocaust.
The film, entitled “Holocaust: The Revenge Plot, details the revenge plans of Vilnius Ghetto resident Abba Kovner and Yehuda Maimon, Simcha Rotem and Hasia Warshawski. It also describes their horrific wartime experiences .
Yehuda Friedman likened the horrors witnessed as something “that not even the devil can imagine. Also featured in the film is Chaim Miller, a soldier in the British Army’s Jewish Brigade. Miller was part of a vigilante group that tried to assassinate alleged SS soldiers in hiding.
WWII SOLDIERS DUMPED INTO MASS GRAVE AFTER SHIPWRECK SCAVENGED, REPORT SAYS
Kovner, a Jewish resistance fighter, details his recollections of the plan and put them on recorded tape in 1985 while he was dying of cancer. The plan included poisoning the water supply in several German cities, as well as a second plot to murder thousands of SS officers who were being hidden in an American prisoner of war camp. Prior to his death, Kovner became a famous Israeli poet. He ultimately passed away in September 1987.
Revelations included in the documentary, which will be screened on Jan. 27, at 9 p.m. local time in the UK to mark Holocaust Memorial Day, include:
How the Avenger agents infiltrated the waterworks of four German cities - Hamburg, Nuremberg, Frankfurt and Munich - in order to poison the water supplies
How two future presidents of Israel, Chaim Weizmann and Efraim Katzir were claimed to have been involved in helping the Avengers acquire the poison
How a second attempt at mass murder - targeting some 50,000 SS officers held in POW camps in Nuremberg and Munich - may have partially succeeded

What the U.S. Can Learn From Germany About Facing the Past | Opinions | NowThis
Here’s how the U.S. could take a cue from Germany on facing its history of racism, according to Bryan Stevenson.
» Subscribe to NowThis:
Bryan Stevenson saved 125+ wrongfully condemned prisoners. from death row through his work as a public interest lawyer,
Stevenson: Until we understand the truth of our history, every effort at repair will fail. Most people who ask the question, do you support reparations, don’t know what the word means. They think it’s some check. There is no sufficient check you could put in the mail. It means something much more dynamic, much more inclusive, and much more substantial.
In law school you’re taught if someone’s rights are violated, there have to be remedies. And the remedies are shaped by the nature of the violation, which is understanding what the motives are, what the intent was, what’s the extent of the injury, is central to what kind of remedy you impose. And I think we have too many people in this country who wanna talk about truth and repair, or truth and reconciliation, and truth and justice, and they wanna skip the truth part and jump right to the reparation or reconciliation part. I don’t think it works that way. It’s the truth part that’s actually the hard part. When we all have a consciousness of the truth, the repair part actually becomes so much easier.
So I’m resistant to any effort to reduce the project in front of us to something that allows us to skip the truth. Most people in this country know nothing about what happened to African Americans in the first half of the twentieth century, when 6 million fled the American South as refugees and exiles. Most of us know nothing about the brutality of the domestic slave trade and the way thousands of African American families were pulled apart, where women were brutalized, and raped, where men were reduced to objects, where children were sold away from their parents. And until we know those details, we can’t appreciate what kind of remedy, what kind of repair is needed.
I go into courts and jails and my clients, who have been convicted of crimes, to be released have to go before a parole board typically and they have to acknowledge the wrongfulness of their crime. And they do that because the parole board won’t let them out if they still distrust them to acknowledge the wrongfulness of what they did. They don’t trust people who aren’t prepared to express remorse or regret. My clients need to do that to understand that wrongfulness so that they won’t re-offend. I think the same is true for this nation. I think we have to articulate the wrong that was done. We have to express remorse and regret. We have to feel some of the shame that we should feel about this history of racial inequality.
After apartheid in South Africa there was a recognition that they couldn’t get to a healthy place without a commitment to truth and reconciliation. There were convenings where people who had been victimized by apartheid and discouraged and traumatized by that bigotry could have place to give voice to it. If you go to Johannesburg today, their Constitutional Court is surrounded by the emblems, the monuments, the symbols that are designed to make sure no one forgets the inequality of apartheid. In Rwanda, there was a recognition that the country couldn’t recover from that horrific genocide without a process of truth and reconciliation, truth and repair, truth and justice. And you can’t spend a day in Rwanda without people talking to you about the genocide. It’s urgent to them that everyone understand what happened there. In Germany, you can’t go 200 meters without seeing markers, or monuments, or stones that have been placed next to the homes of Jewish families that were abducted during the Holocaust. The Germans actually want you to go to the Holocaust memorial. They try to change the narrative. There are no Adolf Hitler statues in Germany. Swastikas have been banned. There’s a consciousness to never again fall prey to the politics of fear and anger that gave rise to that Holocaust. In this country, we don’t talk about slavery, we don’t talk about the native genocide, we don’t talk about lynching, we don’t talk about segregation.
