Now tell me about when the Germans visited a Jewish neighborhood and the French visited a Jewish neighborhood

This was pre-WWI. Not sure how anti-semitism compared in Germany and France during this era, but there was plenty of anti-semitism in France as demonstrated by the riots during the Dreyfus Affair.
