The Jüdisches Museum Frankfurt is Germany’s oldest independent Jewish museum, dedicated to preserving and presenting over 800 years of Jewish life in the city. Spread across two locations—the Rothschild Palais on Untermainkai and the Museum Judengasse—it offers a comprehensive view of Jewish culture, history, and identity from the Middle Ages to the present day. The Rothschild Palais houses the permanent exhibition We Are Now, which explores Jewish Frankfurt from the Enlightenment through modern times, highlighting the contributions of Jewish families to the city’s cultural and economic life. A special feature is the Frank Family Center, the first institution worldwide to present personal objects, letters, and photographs of Anne Frank’s family, offering intimate insights into their story. The Museum Judengasse, built on the foundations of Europe’s first Jewish ghetto, focuses on early modern Jewish life and the community’s resilience in the face of restrictions and persecution. Together, the two sites create a powerful dialogue between past and present, remembrance and renewal. Through its exhibitions, educational programs, and cultural events, the Jüdisches Museum Frankfurt serves as both a place of memory and a vibrant forum for contemporary Jewish culture in the heart of the city.
