Eva Wechsberg, born in Leipzig in 1922, experienced anti-Semitism as a schoolgirl, the Nazis' seizure of power, and the racial madness, witnessed the burning synagogues during the Reichspogromnacht and in 1939 was able to flee to the USA just in time for the Shoah. A new life starts. She marries, becomes a mother, is involved in the community, and leads a fulfilling life. But a longing for the former home remains. Eva Wechsberg is not a famous philosopher, not a well-known writer, and not a great scientist, but her almost 100-year life shows impressively how one does not lose faith in life and in the good in people despite many terrible experiences. Your life story also tells a piece of the city's history Leipzig and its Jewish community.weiterlesen
