Dozens of German volunteers restored Metula’s abandoned Beit Shalom hotel, showing solidarity with Israel and turning history’s pain into a message of hope and support.
While antisemitic attacks surge worldwide, a different kind of story unfolded today in northern Israel.
In a powerful gesture of reconciliation, dozens of German volunteers — including descendants of Nazi families — have arrived in Metula, a northern Israeli town damaged by war.
Their goal: to help rebuild homes and support recovery efforts.
Their message: “We came to fix, not to forget.”
