| Abstract | This work is the result of a question asked of Wolf Hergert by his class at the Sigena High School in Nuremberg, “Were there any Jewish pupils at our school during the Nazi era, and if so, what became of them?”Three years of research by Hergert and his students revealed that there were 120 Jewish females attending what was then the Staedtische Maedchenlyzeum mit Realgymnasium Findelgassse-Frauntorgraben. They searched city archives, resident maps, departure notices, and personnel documents for the instructors at that time (much of these in the old Sütterlin script), and wrote letters to people around the world until the pieces of the puzzle began to assemble themselves.They determined that 109 of the 120 Jewish pupils were able to flee with their families abroad, and eleven died in the concentration camps.This book documents the research project, discusses the history of the Jewish community in Nuremberg and of the Maedchenschule Findelgasse-Frauentorgraben, tells the story of the Jewish students during the time of National Socialism, and includes biographical sketches of the Jewish students and of the school’s faculty during that period. |
| Notes | Donated by Eric S. Brown, son of Ruth Ilse Wilmersdoerfer, one of the Jewish students of the Maedchenlyzeum. |
