- Education
Dana Vowinckel was the only child at the Fraenkelufer synagogue when she was growing up, a German-American Jew in a sea of memory, tension, and light. From lighting Hanukkah candles in Potsdamer Platz to summers in Chicago, her confluence of identities have allowed her to see behind the curtain of both the American and German Jewish experience. Come and learn with Dana as she tells us about blessing grandchildren, Art emerging from tragedy, and the complexities of growing up at a Jew in Kreuzberg.
