Abstract
The article discusses DNA from a medieval German cemetery which reveals history of today's largest Jewish population. It mentions that Ashkenazi communities regularly administer genetic compatibility tests during matchmaking to limit the risk that children will inherit genetic diseases, and preconception testing is common in other Ashkenazim. It reveals that archaeologists have uncovered evidence of Jewish communities in Germanic provinces of the Roman Empire.
