Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1942 & 1943, after nine years of merciless harassment, persecution, starvation & deprivation, 1336 Jewish people living in Mainz, Germany were deported, tortured and murdered. For hundreds of these innocent victims, who had no surviving family members, all traces of their lives were reduced to ashes & fragments of bone. They have no graves, no tombstones, and nobody to remember them. It is as though they never existed.The scant bits of discoverable information about 20 such former residents of Mainz without descendants, are presented in this book along with personal accounts, original Nazi anti-Jewish edicts and archival photographs, which will give the reader some feeling for what it was like to be a Jew living in Nazi Germany.
