Jewish Museum Frankfurt had one of the largest Jewish communities in Western Europe before WW II. There is a museum, a Jewish alley and a monument. The museum is located in the former palace of the Rothschildt family and gives an impressive oversight. The annex is the Judengasse, or Jewish street, where one can see the remains of the Jewish ghetto destroyed by the Nazi's. Nearby is the memorial that commemorates the Jews murdered by the Nazi regime.
