Before the Nazis came to power, the Berlin Jewish community had 160.000 members (1/3 of all Jews in the German Reich). The pogrom that took place on November 9, 1938 (Kristallnacht) represents a rupture.
About 8000 Jews of Berlin had survived: In hiding, in mixed marriages, in concentration camps. More than 56,000 Jewish Berliners had been murdered. Jewish Community became reconstituted – today about 11,200 members (June 2006). But many Jews living here are not affiliated.
