Religion in Germany: Judaism When Hitler came to power in 1933, approximately 600,000 Jews lived in
Germany, some of whom were among the most prominent members of society.
Over the next twelve years, most fled or were murdered, along with millions
of East European Jews, Slavs, and other nationalities. As of January 1992,
seventy-six Jewish congregations and Land associations had about 34,000
members, with the largest communities located in Berlin and Frankfurt
am Main. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, several thousand Soviet Jews
of German ancestry took advantage of liberalized Soviet emigration policies
and German naturalization laws and resettled in the Federal Republic.
However, since unification in 1990 and the outbreak of radical right-wing
violence, some in the Jewish community, remembering similar events in
the 1930s, have left. Although most hate-crimes and violence have been
aimed at foreign workers and asylum-seekers, there have been scattered
incidents of attacks on Jewish synagogues and memorials. - Roman Catholicism - Immigration
