Slowly recovering and re-establishing themselves. It is an uneasy, touchy, and testy process with numerous reverses caused by unchecked neo-Nazi endeavors. World history must be accepted and dealt with. ____ In 1990 there were about 30,000 practising Jews in the reunited Germany. Since then the number has risen to about 118,000 mainly as a result of Immigration from the former Soviet Union. In addition, a further 80,000-90,000 ethnic Jews have migrated to Germany, also mainly from the former Soviet Union. I'm puzzled by the reference above to 'unchecked neo Nazi endeavors'. There is tough legislation in place in Germany against neo-Nazi activities, and there are often large demonstrations against neo-Nazism.

The predominant religion in Germany in 1914 was Christianity, with the majority of the population identifying as either Protestant (mainly Lutheran) or Roman Catholic. There were also smaller Jewish and Muslim communities in Germany at that time.
The Holocaust was about race, not religion. However, religion was used as an indicator of race, so anyone with a Jewish grandparent was regarded as a Jew. The Nazis established three 'degree' of 'Jewishness':Three of four Jewish grandparents - 'full Jew'Two Jewish grandparents - 'half Jew'One Jewish grandparent - 'quarter Jew'So, regardless of your religion, if you had three or four Jewish grandparents, you were in big trouble in Nazi Germany.
