Now, a new, four-part series on Netflix called Unorthodox explores what it means for a Jewish American woman to seek redemption in the city. Yet the rise of anti-Semitic hate crimes and the far right means Germany is still a very fraught place to be Jewish. Germany's capital has secured its place as one of the cultural hubs of Europe. "You have politicians who are relativizing the Holocaust, relativizing the Nazi period who are actively calling for forgetting," Angelos explains. īut despite Germany's memorials, there's been a backlash with the rise of the far-right populist Alternative for Germany party. "Germany is seen around the world as a model for how a country can face its past - and it has done that in a way few countries have," says journalist James Angelos. Somber monuments, museums, stumbling stones and plaques dot nearly every block. In Berlin, reminders of the city's violent past are everywhere. Shira Haas plays Esther Shapiro in Unorthodox, a four-part Netflix adaptation of Deborah Feldman's 2012 memoir.
