Lighting The Menorah Across From Hitler’s House | Jewish Week

By now its not surprising to find menorahs alongside Christmas trees in public places from city squares to remote areas. But one particular photo of a menorah lighting that came across our news desk this Chanukah struck a chord because of its unique location. The address, Prinzregentenplatz 91 in Munich, is no grand public square. It’s an unassuming white brick building, a modest 5 stories high, not far from Downtown Munich. But the somber history of the building across the street is what makes this location unique – Prinzregentenplatz 16 houses the apartment where Adolf Hitler lived in 1929.
