Walther Rathenau was elected in 1922 as Foreign Minister of Germany.
 He was Jewish.

I completely agree with Cornel's description of what the situation
concerning Anti-Semitism currently is in Chernivtsi.
In my efforts to maintain and restore the Jewish cemetery,
I have had much help and assistance from local,
non-Jewish residents of the city.
None of these people asked for, or expected anything in return.

And to go from the anecdotal to irrefutable facts:
Chernivtsi has a population of about 200 000
Of these 1500, or less than 1% are Jewish.
Two of the members of the city council are Jewish.
These two members constitute more than 4%
of the total number of city councilors,
If follows by rational deduction, that non Jewish residents
of the city, voted for Jews to be on the city council.
