German Jews elect 1st leader born after Holocaust
Germany's main Jewish group on Sunday elected its first leader born after the Holocaust, a 60-year-old businessman who promised to focus the organization more on contemporary Jewish life.
Dieter Graumann was born in Israel in 1950, the son of Jewish refugees who moved to Germany two years later. He said after his unanimous election by the board of the Central Council of Jews in Frankfurt that he wants to focus on the positive aspects of Jewish existence in Germany, including "the joy of life," German news agency DAPD reported.
