A Special Relationship - Germans in Israel. Israelis in Germany.

27-year-old Shahak Shapira lives in Germany - even though he has experienced anti-Semitic hostility first-hand and despite the fact that members of his family were killed in the Holocaust and his grandfather died in the Munich massacre, the terrorist attack on the 1972 Olympic Games. Israeli singer Rilli Willow has also settled in Germany. Her great-aunt died in Auschwitz but Rilli married a German and now lives in Berlin. German chef Tom Franz converted to Judaism, has an Israeli wife and lives in Tel Aviv. German writer Sarah Stricker also lives and works in Israel. They are four examples of a new generation of Israelis and Germans who have stepped out of the shadow of the past to prove it’s possible to live together in peace and friendship.
