With the help of its prosperous industry and commerce, it grew to compete with Dresden and Leipzig as one of the main urban centres in the Saxonian State. The book paints a picture of the lives of the Jews from Chemnitz; how they developed from being a wealthy yet multi-class society, their almost complete eradication during the Nazi regime right up to the new-beginning after the reunification of Germany. The fates of individual families and people are told with the help of photographs and original documents as well as reports from witnesses of that time. The records from Chemnitz Jewish Cemetery provide a further focus for the book. This part includes photographs and captions from 1240 graves found in the cemetery and translations of the gravestone inscriptions from Hebrew into German. It is a unique document, carefully researched and documented by historians. The names of those buried in the cemetery and those mentioned in personal interviews have also been extensively listed. <A HREF="info/index.html" TARGET="_top"><B>more...</B></A><BR> <IMG SRC="layout/one.gif" WIDTH="1" HEIGHT="5" BORDER="0"><BR> <IMG SRC="pic/logo.gif" WIDTH="20" HEIGHT="24" BORDER="0" ALT=""><BR> <IMG SRC="layout/one.gif" WIDTH="1" HEIGHT="10" BORDER="0"><BR> Sponsored by the Ostdeutsche Sparkassenstiftung in the Free State of Saxony, the Sparkasse Chemnitz and the Hermann Reetsma Foundation, Hamburg.</TD> <TD ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP"></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP"></TD> <TD ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP"><IMG SRC="layout/one.gif" WIDTH="1" HEIGHT="10" BORDER="0"></TD> <TD ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP"></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP"></TD> <TD ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP"><A HREF="archiv/index.html" TARGET="_top"><IMG SRC="pic/database.gif" WIDTH="249" HEIGHT="19" BORDER="0" ALT=""></A></TD> <TD ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP"></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP"></TD> <TD ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP"><IMG SRC="layout/one.gif" WIDTH="1" HEIGHT="50" BORDER="0"></TD> <TD ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP"></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP"></TD> <TD ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP"><B>Bibliography</B></TD> <TD ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP"></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP"></TD> <TD ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP"><IMG SRC="layout/one.gif" WIDTH="1" HEIGHT="5" BORDER="0"></TD> <TD ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP"></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP"></TD> <TD ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP"> <p>Edited by Jürgen Nitsche and Ruth Röcher and commissioned by the Chemnitz Jewish Community in co-operation with the Salomon-Ludwig-Steinheim Institite, Duisburg and the Stadtarchiv Chemnitz (city archives).<br> <br> german :<a href="http://www.juden-in-chemnitz.de" title="Buch Juden in chemnitz" target="_blank"><br> www.juden-in-chemnitz.de</a><br> <BR> Publisher:<br> Michel Sandstein Grafischer Betrieb<br> Und Verlagsgesellschaft mbH<br> Goetheallee 6<br> D – 01309 Dresden<br> <BR> 500 pages, 350 pictures,<br> Format: 24,0 x 31,5 cm,<br> Hardback book in a protective envelope,<br> german language<br> 30,00 EUR<BR> ISBN 3-930382-66-0</p> </TD> <TD ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP"></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP"></TD> <TD ALIGN="RIGHT" VALIGN="TOP"><A HREF="#nachoben"><IMG SRC="pic/no.gif" WIDTH="17" HEIGHT="20" BORDER="0" ALT=""></A></TD> <TD ALIGN="RIGHT" VALIGN="TOP"></TD> <TD ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP"></TD> </TR> </TABLE> </BODY>
