Afternoon meeting with Leipzig Jews at the 26.11.08 PDF Print E-mail

The last meeting with the Leipzig Jewish community was a big suprise. A Dutchman from Amsterdam was suddenly the center, as he told the story of his deceased wife, who came from Leipzig. She went after the "Kristallnacht" in 1939 with a Refugee Children Movement (Kindertransport) to England. Her parents survived the concentration camp Terezin, but were quite ill. Her Dutch husband brought now the art of his wife, Helga Behr, to Leipzig. It is her personal heritage. He was there with a spirit of reconciliation in this lovely meeting of artistic performances with friends.
