I do not quite understand your comment: who said these Germans were bad for liking klezmer? It is just a phenomenon that is unusual, that is all.

And, as far as the Germans and the Jews go, as an American Jew I have traveled a fair amount in Germany and in the 80s had a German high school student live with us for a week. From what I have seen and heard, the post-WWII generation of Germans have acted quite admirably in educating their citizens about the Holocaust. Berlin is one of my favorite cities in the world--no question. So there was no German-bashing going on from my part.

On the other hand, some skeptics question whether the notion of Germans enjoying and profiting from a largely decimated Jewish cultural tradition may be just another postwar injustice.

This is the part of the article I was referring to .
