Since April 1990, more than 100,000 Jews from the Soviet Union and its successor states have migrated to Germany, radically and permanently altering the size, shape and culture of Germany’s Jewish population. This migration was unexpected, unplanned and, in fact, unwanted by the German government, by the Israeli government, and by most members of Germany’s Jewish communities. It took place against the background of the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the German Democratic Republic, and, once it began, it became unstoppable. Through the decades of the Cold War, ‘Jews in Germany’ – as they were called – appeared in newspaper and magazine articles as an endangered species, if not an anomaly. Books about Jews in the postwar Germanies carried titles like The Survivors (Mühlen, 1962), and Post-Mortem (Katcher, 1968)
