Widerstand und Selbstbehauptung in Frankfurt am Main 1933-1945

With numerous documents, relates the stories of institutions, groups and individuals who avoided compliance with Nazi policy and sometimes protested or actively resisted, in some cases by aiding Jews, hiding them, and helping them to escape. Mentions, among others, nurse Luise Zorn who risked her life to bring food to hundreds of Jews and to assist at the Jewish hospital, and Oskar Schindler, who in his factories in Kraków and Brünnlitz saved 1,200 Jewish workers from deportation. Notes the general indifference of the Churches to the persecution of Jews. Ch. 4 (p. 165-188), "Jüdische Selbstbehauptung/Selbsthilfe", describes Jewish economic, cultural, and educational organizations established in reaction to Nazi persecution. Considers the suicide of some 700 Jews after 1938 as a form of resistance.
