Victims and Neighbors A Small Town in Nazi Germany Remembered

An examination of economic and social relations between Germans and Jews in a small town in the Rhineland, fictionally named "Sonderburg, " from the beginning of the 20th century to the Holocaust. Before 1933, Jews were comfortably integrated into local society, though they suffered from some antisemitism. With the growth of Nazi persecution, some local citizens refused to discriminate against and oppress their neighbors and employers. Others were active Nazis. Counters the myth of "total complicity" of the German people.
