| Summary: | In this article, the life stories of Protestant Germans of Jewish ancestry have been Investigated and evaluated by using the case reconstruction method. The objective is to determine how stigmatization and persecution in Nazi Germany influenced the family dynamics of those families affected by the new racial policies, as well as their relationship to identity-fostering groups. The Herzberg family (pseudonym) has been chosen as a paradigm for this general situation since they largely correspond to the ideal protestant case type with respect to the degree of persecution they underwent, their social class and status, their level of education, and the coping patterns they employed to deal with their stigmatization. Additional complementary cases were also considered, and integrated in a generalized structure presented in the conclusion. |
