ATTENTION - The German thing...



B"H Basel Switzerland

Greetings all.

I would like to know people's general thoughts on the following : 

A musician friend once told me,  "the difficult thing about playing in
Germany is you never know 
if the old guy in the back of the audience is the one that killed Grandpa."

Please be candid and detailed where possible. Thanks.

1) In light of the WWII atrocities, should Jews go to Germany at all?
2) Should Jews who go to Germany play music there, as if nothing happened? 
3) Should Jews who go there play JEWISH music there?
     a) for money?
     b) to let the Germans "atone"?
     c) to play out complexes?

Shalom u'vracha,

Alex Jacobowitz
