Today in class we discussed a large and growing Jewish population in Germany. There are over 40,000 Jews currently living in the capitol of Berlin. This growing population has caused much controversy with Jews all over the world. People don't like the idea of Jews living in the place that sealed the fate of six million of our people not long ago. Personally I believe Jews should move back to Germany, and any European place involved in World War 2. Considering how much we talk about the growing problem of Anti-Semitism in Europe, it seems crazy to dissuade people from returning to these places. I think if we want to get past these problems, we need to embrace them head on. If no Jews move back to places where there has been Anti- Semitism, there eventually won't be anywhere for us to go. If there are no Jews in places with a history of Anti-Semitism, how will the inhabitants there learn first hand that Jews aren't actually as bad as the older generations might tell them? I hope in the future years, we can learn to embrace the horrible things that have happened to us, in order to educate those who might want them to happen again.
