Exhibit in Berlin’s Jewish Museum asks ‘to whom does Jerusalem belong?’

“Welcome to Jerusalem,” says the giant banner hanging above the entrance to Berlin’s Jewish Museum. Most passersby ignore the sign, styled to resemble the road signs one would encounter on Israel’s highways. Some stop to take a photo. “It’s clever marketing. They are probably trying to exploit the aftermath of Trump’s decision,” speculated one onlooker.In reality, the new exhibition that aims to capture the many facets of the holy city and follows the celebrations of the 70th anniversary of Jerusalem’s reunification under Israeli rule, has been in the works for the past year and a half. The timing of its December opening, just days after US President Donald Trump publicly recognized the city as the capital of Israel, was a sheer coincidence.
