More DescriptionIntensive archival research and correspondence with Jewish people, originally from Germany, later scattered all over the world, lead us to a number of rare documents. This material enabled us to construct a realistic and at the same time amazing picture of a most intensive everyday life in Hamburg's Jewish community, guided by Chief Rabbi Joseph Zvi Carlebach, under the most severe circumstances.
