Abstract:
Memorial book listing the fate of c. 56,000 Jews from Berlin, Germany. Approximately 161,000 Jews resided in Berlin in June 1933; this number declined to nearly 76,000 by the onset of World War II. Note: Not all of the persons listed in this one-volume work are native Berliners. Many arrived either before or after Hitler came to power. pp. 9-1402 contain alphabetical listings by surname. In cases of married women, entries are by married name. Entries include maiden name where applicable, day, month, and year of birth and place of birth -- often town and province. Entries also include Berlin street address, date and or destination of deportation and any special designation (e.g. 'transport of aged'). 'Todesort' (place of death) and date is included, where known. May also include the designation 'verschollen' (disappeared), preceded by last known whereabouts; 'für tot erklärt' (declared dead); or 'Freitod' (suicide)
