Jewish Life in Leipzig
About 80 years ago the Jewish religious community of Leipzig counted nearly 13.000 members, the sixth largest in all of Germany. The Jewish citizens actively took part in trade and business and hence contributed to the growth of the city and enriched social and cultural life. But following 1933, and especially after the “Night of Broken Glass“ (9th/10th of November in 1938), a massive curtailment of Jewish rights and property began. We would like to call that once thriving Jewish community to mind again and note that our Jewish community has grown again to more than 1300 members who are again contributing to Leipzig’s business and cultural life today.
