After World War II, there were 100 Jews left in Frankfurt, Germany. Today the community has a potent voice. | Jewish Telegraphic Agency
BERLIN (JTA) — There were approximately 30,000 Jews in the city of Frankfurt before World War II, making it the largest community in Germany.
By the time the U.S. military occupied the city in 1945, there were only about 100 left.
“Jewish life was destroyed,” said Tobias Freimuller, author of the recently published “Frankfurt and the Jews,” a history of the community from 1945-1990.
Flash forward to 2020 and the Jewish community of Frankfurt is once again a powerful force in the city, one of Germany’s largest and a major business hub.
