The Room of the Last Supper lies just outside the Dormition
Abbey behind the Franciscan house on Sion. The whole area
has been transformed by religious Jews into various
Yeshivas (Schools of the Torah) especially due to the
devotion for the Tomb of King David which is believed to be
located beneath the Upper Room.
Germany Rejects The Jews Not For The Last Time

When Herzl met the Duke of Baden, the Kaiser's uncle, he
tried to persuade him of the importance of a meeting with
Kaiser Wilhelm for the Zionist cause. After more than one
and a half years of fruitless contacts with influential German
figures, Herzl was called to the German consul during a stay
in Amsterdam and informed that the German Kaiser was
prepared to meet him on his journey to Jerusalem. Kaiser
Wilhelm II's first stop on his journey to the land of Israel was
at Kushta. In October 1898, Herzl traveled to Kushta, where
he met with the Kaiser for the first time and received a
promise of a subsequent meeting in Jerusalem. Herzl and
his companions went up to Jerusalem in an optimistic frame
of mind to wait the second meeting, which took place on
November 2. His frosty reception by the Kaiser and the lack
of protocol led Herzl to realize that the German monarch had
withdrawn his initial offer of support for Jewish settlement in
the land of Israel.
For the rejection of Herzl and the race against Britain for
Jerusalem real estate, Turkey and Germany paid a heavy
price. In 1910, the Dormition Abbey was completed. Within a
decade, Germany and Turkey were defeated in all out war,
and Britain was in Jerusalem alongside Herzl's Jews.
Then came the Holocaust.
