Many survivors of Nazi persecution were reluctant to talk about their suffering because they did not want to be confronted with the evil memories again. To avoid this and out of respect for this decision of the Holocaust generation, many children and grandchildren did not reach out further to their parents or grandparents. The author belongs to this generation of children of the Holocaust and – unfortunately only late after the death of his parents – and urgent inquiries from his son – began to delve intensively into the family’s history. Friends and acquaintances also came into focus, whose names were lost in memory – as well as the historical context of the events.
The aim here is to contribute to this work of remembrance. Because many biographies of the 2,000 Dunera Boys have not yet been researched and written, although they are worth it. And in Germany this topic is not enough known anyway.
