The painter and graphic artist Jacob Pins, born in Höxter on January 17, 1917, fled the Nazi persecution of Jews to Palestine, but after the war he reconnected with the city of his birth and donated his artistic estate to Höxter. In 2003, the city of Höxter made him an honorary citizen. Jacob Pins died on Dec. 4, 2005 in Jerusalem.
The Jacob Pins Gesellschaft – Kunstverein Höxter documents and administers the foundation, which comprises hundreds of works, and also offers an exhibition forum to other selected artists of different backgrounds.

The house of the Jewish Uhlmann family from the village of Ovenhausen was rebuilt in the open-air museum.

Today, Rosenbaum's Tabernacle is a reminder of the almost hundred-year history of the former Jewish community in Zell am Main. This was shaped above all by the work of Reb Mendel Rosenbaum and his family. The family established a Talmud school in Zell as well as a yeshiva, synagogue and mikvah at the Judenhof.

Albert Einstein, born in Ulm in 1879, only spent a few months of his childhood in the city of his birth. Nevertheless, he always remained closely connected to his family, who continued to live in Ulm. The museum of an Ulm family is located in the historic „Engländer“ am Weinhof, where the Einstein family once lived and worked. The family ran a bedspring factory here.

The property was acquired by Amschel Mayer von Rothschild in 1809 and built on by the architect Philipp Jacob Hoffmann with a representative building in the style of Frankfurt Classicism. From 1813, it functioned as the trading office of the company M. A. Rothschild & Söhne. The location and character of the building reveal much about the social status of the Rothschild family at the time.

The Jewish Museum Munich, an institution of the state capital München, is dedicated to the diversity of Jewish history and culture. It was opened in 2007 and is part of the ensemble of buildings on St.-Jakobs-Platz, which also includes the Ohel-Jakob Synagogue and the Jewish Community Center.

In addition to the permanent exhibition „Voices_Places_Times“, temporary exhibitions are shown regularly.

The Münster City Museum shows 1200 years of the city's history on 2,500 square meters. It goes without saying that the museum's exhibition collection also presents the Jewish citizens at the points where we have evidence of their lives in the city of Münster.

The history and culture of Jewish Künigsberg are the focus of the first permanent exhibition in the Museum in the Kaliningrad Synagogue.

In the process, the Jewish perspective is presented when looking at history. The deportation of the Jews in 1942, the system of forced labor in East Prussia shortly before the end of the war and the massacre in Palmnicken are described in drawn stories and with a model.
