Abstract:
Discusses the meaning of German reunification for Jews in West and East Germany, as well as for American Jews. Describes the gradual erosion of the memory of the Shoah in both Germanies, and especially the resurgence of antisemitism in the former GDR. Sees the "Jewish question" returning in the form of questions about the future of the Jewish communities in Germany today. Discusses the response of American Jews to the changes brought about by German reunification and stresses the obligation of Jews to keep the memory of the Shoah alive.
