This is Bamberg, Germany. It is located in Bavaria. Recent numbers put Bamberg at about 70,000 people total but in the year 1990 (pre-holocaustish) the number for just the Jewish population was about 1,000. Life was nice and pleasant for those of the Jewish denomination. They had been living in Bamberg since before the First Crusade. However, during the holocaust that number plummeted and the fate of all but 17 people were ruined. Bamberg was just another city to be purged of Jewish influence and because of that idea hundreds of Jew were sent to their deaths. The numbers have since been brought back up but they we never forget.
Good analysis and comparison overall, and I like the costumes! You have a chronology problem in your analysis part, however, with the 1990s being before the Holocaust. Please revise and email me back once fixed.
