Staden där de levde var nästan till hälften judisk. Det fanns ett tiotal synagogor, flera politiska rörelser, skolor, sjukhus och industrier. En småstad, med alla mått mätt. Men levande. Bilder därifrån visar myllrande marknader och ett levande gatuliv.

Ofta handlar hågkomst av Förintelsen om hur det slutade. Jag vill gärna att det finns en strimma av kunskap av hur det var innan. Vilken var den värld som försvann. Denna bild är från sent 30-tal, farfars syster gifter sig. Några år senare var nästan samtliga på detta foto döda.
