24H Jerusalem - Living in Jerusalem: A variety of reasons and means (10-11 a.m., Episode 5)

There are no civil marriages in Jerusalem. Jews are married by a rabbi, Christians by a priest and Muslims by an imam. Divorce of a Jewish marriage is only possible if the husband agrees.

In 1965, the provisional refugee camp Shuafat was build for 500 families. Nearly 50 years later, 22.000 people live there, cramped. Electricity supply is improvised and sanitation overstretched, there is no rubbish collection. An elderly resident tells her son about her escape from her hometown, her life in Jerusalem and the first years at the camp.

Claudia came from Germany to Israel more than 30 years ago to live in the kibbutz Ramat Rachel. During a walk with her dog, she shows the houses for young people who begin their obligatory military service (men have to serve for four years, women for two) and the Jewish settlements in her neighbourhood, like Gilo where 50.000 people live. She thinks that it's impossible to ever dismantle such large settlements.

Gisele survived World War II and the Holocaust, but the memories still haunt her every day. She was born in the former Czechoslovakia, in a town that was occupied by Hungary during WWII. She was deported to Auschwitz. When Russia took control over her hometown in 1948, she fled to America and later to Israel where she finally feels at home.
