Today , because of the Holocaust , very few original Yekkes are still German residents , but they remain in regions such as Switzerland , Eastern France ( Alsace and Lorraine ) , Netherlands and Luxembourg . A significant community escaped Frankfurt after Kristallnacht , and relocated to the Washington Heights region of New York City , where they still have a synagogue , K'hal Adass Jeshurun , which punctiliously adheres to the Yekkish liturgical text , rituals , and melodies . Most of the 200,000 Jews living in Germany today emigrated from the former USSR after 1990 and only 105,000 are registered members of Jewish communities
