The End of the "Holy Congregation" in Neckarbischofsheim
Dr Robert Jesselson is reading his great-uncle Samuel Jeselsohn's account of the end of the Jewish congregation in Neckarbischofsheim. Samuel Jeselsohn was the last leader of the Jewish community in Neckarbischofsheim.
The short presentation was for the (online) Holocaust program of the South Carolina Council on the Holocaust. Robert Jesselson has agreed that we can use his reading for remembering the atrocities during the so called "Kristallnacht".
