Abstract:
Traces the fate of two Hamburg lawyers in the Nazi period. Eichholz was born in 1881; he fought in World War I, and was a moderate political activist. However, as a Jew, he was arrested several times and imprisoned in concentration camps from 1935 on, and in 1943 he was murdered in Auschwitz. Michaelis was born in 1898; from 1924 he was a communist activist. His persecution began in March 1933. He joined a resistance group, was arrested in 1937, and executed by guillotine in Berlin in 1939. All in all, 25 Jewish lawyers from Hamburg were driven to suicide, deported to ghettos or camps, or died as a result of incarceration.
