There’s a famous picture of a Chanukah menorah being lit from a window with Nazi banners visible through the window.
The photo was taken by Akiva & Rachel Posner in 1931.
Tonight their grandson Yehudah lit from that very same menorah inside the home of the President of Germany.
בחנוכה 1931, קצת יותר משנה לפני עליית היטלר לשלטון, צילמו הרב עקיבא פוזנר ורעייתו רחל חנוכיה שהעמידו על חלון ביתם בעיר קיל שבצפון גרמניה מול בניין שעליו נתלה דגל המפלגה הנאצית - תמונה שהפכה לסמל. הערב הדליק נכדם, יהודה מנסבך, את אותה חנוכיה בדיוק במשכנו של נשיא גרמניה
