In the 1920s Berlin had a Jewish population (in the sense of religious Jews) of about 140,000 which was about a quarter of Germany's Jews. Obviously, if you include people of Jewish origin you get a higher figure.
The German-speaking city with the largest Jewish population was, however, Vienna (the capital of Austria).
Berlin, with roughly 25,000 Jews.
It's spelled Krakow, and it is in Poland. What happened to the Jews there during the Holocaust; they were first concentrated into a ghetto in the city. Then they were put in a concentration camp in the city's district of Plaszow, or to Auschwitz-Birkenau.
The Holocaust took place in all territory under German control. It didn't start in one place and then "spread" in the way the question seems to suggest.
Everyone. It was created by the Nazis in 1940. All Jews in Warsaw were ordered into the ghetto, and all non-Jews were ordered out. (Note that it was not the existing, prewar Jewish district, but an area close to a large railhead, for onward deportation).
From the end of World War 1 (1918) till Hitler came to power (1933) they lived normal lives and, on the whole, were integrated into German society. There were various anti-Jewish conspiracy theories circulating, but very few Jews felt threatened before 1933.

This question makes no sense. Germans never "took over the Jews". The Jews did not have a nation or a city-state that the Germans invaded. Jews lived inside of Germany and inside of other nations before the Holocaust. They became subject to different policies of treatment during the Holocaust which resulted in their general extermination from Europe.Answer:Historians speak against Germany's actions towards the Jews because what the Nazis did, killing six million Jews, stands out among the greatest infamies in world history.
If by Russian you mean Soviet, Odessa (in the Ukraine) and Minsk (in Belarus) both had large Jewish populations before the German invasion. (In Minsk about 45% + of the population was Jewish). In both cases most Jews in both cities were killed.

The Jewish claim that Jerusalem is a holy city is much older and is completely unrelated to the Holocaust.
Nobody in particular. The rulers of Pressburg/Pozsony/Bratislava continuously granted permission for the Jews to settle in the city throughout its history from the Roman Period to the Holocaust.

The last German City he lived in was Munich but he moved to Italy and Switzerland long before he moved to the United States.
There is no current city: The holocaust is over.
In Europe, probably Warsaw, with a Jewish population of about 400,000. (New York, however, had even more but they were not in danger).
Everyone. It was created by the Nazis in 1940. All Jews in Warsaw were ordered into the ghetto, and all non-Jews were ordered out. (Note that it was not the existing, prewar Jewish district, but an area close to a large railhead, for onward deportation).
When the Nazis came to power in 1933, there were about 540,000 Jews in Germany in the sense of adherents of Judaism and a further 300,000 or so who came under the Nazi defintions of Jews. Many managed to flee Germany before the Holocaust, but about 165,000 perished. _____ The answer is so wide in scope that not all will be covered by it. This will be a brief synapsis. In Germany there was an ideal race called the "Master Race," or Aryan's. This consisted of blonde, blue eyed, non jews. Anybody who did not fit this mold was seen to be undesireable. The Jews were seen as lessor people who got in the way of the so called Master Race's progress. This is all due to the psycopathic ideology of the Third Reich. German Jews were at first made to wear fabric gold stars on the outside of their clothing identifying them as Jews. They were rounded up and sent to concentration camps all throughout Europe. Many if not all of these camps were "Death Camps" where conditions were not up to the minimal standards to sustain human life. Many were directly executed simply for their heritage. The largest most infamous Death Camp was Auschwitz. Over six million Jews lost their lives. However the persecution of Jews was not contained to Germany. Jews all throughout Europe were subjected to the Holocaust. In Warsaw Poland the entire city was segregated and the Jews were walled in to a tiny area known as the Warsaw ghetto. Disease, famine, and widespread death were rampant. These horrible acts were committed by everyday citizens in some cases. People turned a blind eye to the persecution of the Jews. This is a very brief answer as entire college majors can revolve around Holocaust Studies. What is important is that history never forgets waht happened so that it will never happen again. ____ German Jews didn't enjoy any privileges for being German rather than foreign Jews. They were slaughtered along with the rest in the Holocaust. _____ Please see the related question.
