"This collection contains correspondence, press cuttings, photographs and papers collated by Nora Keren whose parents, grandparents and extended family were dispersed by the Holocaust. Her grandparents Josef and Frieda Waller died at Terezin and Auschwitz concentration camps. The family was part of the Jewish community of Grosskrotzenburg in Hesse, whose synagogue was raided during the November pogroms in 1938. The material relates to the opening of the memorial synagogue of Grosskrotzenburg and Nora Keren's donation to the synagogue of her grandmother's last letter to the family, the 825th anniversary of the municipality of Grosskrotzenburg in 2000, and Nora Keren's visits to other Jewish memorial places in Germany. The interior of synagogue of Grosskrotzenburg was destroyed during the November pogroms on 10th November 1938, together with the adjacent Jewish school and teachers accommodation. Between 1952 and 1974 the building was used by the local Lutheran parish church. The municipality Grosskrotzenburg purchased the property in 1988 to renovate it. In 1992 the former synagogue was opened to the public as a memorial place."@eng . "Nora Keren: Personal papers"@eng . . . . . "3 folders"@eng . "Nora Keren: Personal papers"@eng . . . . . .
