Sussen Is Now Free of Jews - World War II, the Holocaust, and Rural Judaism

Informationen zum Autor Gilya Gerda Schmidt Klappentext Two Jewish families, the Langs and the Ottenheimers, settled in the two separate parts of Suessen, District Goeppingen, in 1902. The Langs established a cattle business in Gross-Suessen, the Ottenheimers established a branch of their weaving business, headquartered in Goeppingen, in Klein-Suessen.
