Here is a higher quality version of this image.

Per here:

A photograph taken in 1932 by Rachel, wife of Rabbi Akiva Posner, of their candle-lit Hanukkah menorah against the backdrop of the Nazi flags flying from the building across from their home in Kiel Germany

Per here:

Rachel had written on the back of the picture: "'Death to Judah,’ says the flag. ‘Judah will live forever’, respond the lights.”

That menorah(candle stand) is now in Jerusalem at the Holocaust museum!

I believe they light it during Hanukkah

I know Kiel very well, but I sill struggle to recognize where exactly the picture was taken. I guess those places don't exist anymore , the city was hit very hard by bombers during the war.
