Questions after visiting the Jewish Museum (in no particular order):
- Why were several, presumably Bavarian, high-schoolers wearing dirndls and lederhosen on their visit to the museum?
- Why does the cafeteria go to the trouble of being “kosher style,” but not certified kosher, or even plain old vegetarian?
- Are the refugees from Germany to Israel in the 1930s among the exiles commemorated in the “Garden of Exiles?”
- Is Amos Elon’s book title “The Pity of It All” really an appropriate way to sum up 2000 years of German-Jewish history?
- The Mendelssohn-Bartholdys aside: Why is a Christmas tree part of the exhibition?
