From Hamburg we flew to Frankfurt, to undertake an exploration of the "ShUM Cities" in central Germany, which, along with Prague, are at the root of medieval Jewish history in Europe. Frankfurt itself is not one of the ShUM Cities (Speyer, Worms, and Mainz), but it is the conveniently-located air hub of Germany, and it turns out to hold a fine Jewish museum which was once the home of the Rothschild family. In addition to all that, the contemporary architecture is spectacular.
