| Summary: | Germany's Jewish population was largely urbanized, but dotting the landscape were numerous small towns and villages where, over the course of generations, Jewish life had taken root and flourished. Loyally contributing to the well-being of the small communities in which they and their families had prospered, Jewish citizens gained a measure of acceptance. With the arrival of the Nazis all this was to change. Jewish-owned businesses were seized and Jewish lives were shattered. No less than their co-religionists in larger towns and cities, Jews from rural communities who, beset by obstacles, failed to find a place of refuge abroad, were at the mercy of a regime that saw fit to deport them to their deaths. |
