I heard of the video during a webinar called “Memory Culture Endangered” organised by the Jewish Museum in Augsburg. The webinar was part of the exhibition “Voices. A Mosaic of Ukrainian-Jewish Life” at the former synagogue Kriegshaber which was turned into a museum in 2014. The much bigger synagogue in the centre of Augsburg is still in use. This synagogue is one of the very few ones that remained almost completely intact during the war.
About 50% of the Jewish community in Augsburg have Ukrainian roots. This has actually nothing to do with the current war, but is largely due to the immigration of Jews from the Soviet Union to Germany in the 1990s. Now 90% of the Jewish community in Germany have roots in the former SU.
Today it’s been a year since the war in Ukraine began. Nearly 3 million Ukrainians have fled to Russia, 1, 5 million to Poland and another million to Germany.
