After the Holocaust, many Jewish people hesitated to visit Germany for decades.
But recently a growing number of Jewish people seem to be making tour.
According to the German National Tourist Board, overnight trips by Israelis increased more than 15 percent from 2012 to 2013.
To encourage Jewish tourism more, the board lately released its first the 57-page “e-brochure” named “Germany for the Jewish Traveler” to assist Jewish visitors find Jewish history in Germany.
Germany is the third-largest Jewish community in Western Europe providing home to 200,000 Jews.
The guide notes that for centuries, academics and historians are destined to continue to question, argue and examine how a country and a people admired for their advancement, culture and civilization could have been responsible for the infamy we know today as ‘the Holocaust’.
“Yet, what is beyond argument is how succeeding generations of Germans have demonstrated revulsion at the deeds of their forbears and have dedicated themselves to forging an entirely different Germany” the guide adds.
