“I am coming to learn as much as to share”*

Project Jewish Life in Frankfurt

The focus of our work is to keep in memory the lives of former Jewish Frankfurt citizens and to learn and teach about present-day Jewish life.

We trace the life and background of former Frankfurt citizens of Jewish descent, bring time witnesses in contact with schools for talks to the students and provide methods to prepare and reflect the meetings of the old and the young.

Ever since 1984 we have taken part in the annual visitors program of the City of Frankfurt, by which former Jewish citizens and their offspring are invited to visit their former hometown.

In 2012 the City of Frankfurt started an official “second generation” program.

As a project-group we give assistance in cooperating with archives and local groups in order to find out as much as possible about family history, help to find contact into communities of relevance outside of Frankfurt, accompany the guests and document the results of the activities. We also publish the results of our work.
