Germany's main Jewish leader steps down

Germany's main Jewish leader, who in 2010 became the first person born after the Holocaust to take the job, says he's stepping down.

 

Dieter Graumann said Friday he won't seek a second term leading the Central Council of Jews in a vote Nov. 30. The 64-year-old said the job, whose holder works on an honorary basis, "demanded an extraordinary amount of energy and time."

 

The group's vice president, Josef Schuster, said he will run for the presidency.
