The Jewish Museum in Frankfurt and its branch, the Judengasse Museum, which is next to the old Jewish cemetery, show the historical development and religious culture of the Jewish communities that lived in the city between the 12th and 20th centuries. Before the Jewish community in Frankfurt suffered persecution from the Nazi regime, it became the second-largest in Germany. The Jewish Museum has assembled an extensive collection of Jewish objects kept by Holocaust survivors from various regions of Europe. One of the rare pieces that go back is an incredible relic, a Hanukkah lamp made by Johann Valentin Schüler, in the 17th century.
