German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s ‘spectacular’ Jewish legacy | Timesofisrael
BERLIN (JTA) — Israeli author Eldad Beck regards Angela Merkel’s engagement with Israel and Judaism as “spectacular.”
Germany’s chancellor has “developed a very personal connection to the State of Israel and the Jewish people, [becoming] one of the rare German politicians who – when speaking about lessons learned from the past – really knows what she is talking about, and really means it,” said Beck, whose book, “Chancellor Merkel, Israel and the Jews,” was published in Hebrew last year by Yedioth Books. “Not like so many other German politicians who repeat slogans they have learned to say.”
