RECLAIMING WHAT WAS TAKEN: A Jewish Return to German Citizenship

Thursday, April 9, 2026 at 7:00 PM

The current Etz Hayim president, Milt Zweig, has spent years doing genealogical research on his European roots including the tumultuous time of WWII.  His research and perseverance as well as his drive to undo some of the wrongs done to his family led him to becoming a German citizen. Trying to undo some of the wrongs that were laid upon the Jewish people of WWII Europe can be a lesson in futility, but some things can be done. Should a Jew regain the German citizenship that was wrongly taken away from them? Should Jews refrain from anything at all German or embrace a culture that has in some ways come to grips to things that happened a generation ago?
