60 Years Of German Jewish Council

From Deutsche Welle:
"Central Council for Jews in Germany celebrates 60 successful years"

The Central Council for Jews in Germany is celebrating 60 years of its existence. They claim to represent over 100,000 Jews in Germany. This is a far cry from Germany's pre-World War 2 Jewish population, but the Holocaust and emigration after the war brought the numbers to an all-time low. Today the Council has moved the German Jews from the ruins of the death camps to being a key player in the European Union. The majority of Jews currently living in Germany are from the former Soviet Union (who came to Germany under the "Right of Return.") Many people consider the council to be the moral authority of the Holocaust, but I think that title goes to Yad Vashem in Israel.
