For years, the Cologne Cathedral and the city’s Jewish community have discussed how to deal with church’s art, which has been later seen as anti-Semitic, according to a Die Tagespost report.
Some examples include a depiction of Jesus being flogged and beaten by two men donning a “plate-shaped funnel” hat. The hats indicate that Jesus was beaten by Jews, not the Romans. The church’s “children’s window,” reveals a depiction of Judas’ betrayal. Judas is shown giving Jesus an oversized bag of money, which is said to dwell on the “anti-Semitic stereotype of greed.”
