I have very different reasons why I want to travel to Israel:
1. It’s the birthplace of three world religions and you can’t understand the actual political situation there without knowing anything about the history.
2. As a catholic I want to walk on historic grounds and visit the place where Jesus lived.
3. As a german I have to face the past and the crimes which were committed to the jewsish people in the name of the germans 60 years ago. Because of that I want to visit Yad Vashem to bow myself in respect for the 6 million innocent jews, killed by the Nazis…
