Marta Appel: MEMOIRS OF A GERMAN JEWISH WOMAN

Marta Appel provides a first-hand account of discrimination against Jews in the early stages of Hitler's regime.

Some interesting snippets:

"We were no longer safe, wherever we went"

"I, personally, did not mind all those disappointments, but when my children had to face them...my heart was filled with anguish."

"Almost every lesson [in school] began to be a torture for Jewish children"

"Every day they had to face another degrading and offensive incident"

"Everything had changed--the whole country looked different in my eyes"


In five words: Jeepers creepers!!! Antisemitism catching on....
