Abstract:
Discusses attempts to save the members of the extended Klee family, including Alfred Klee (1875-1943), a lawyer and former associate of Herzl, and his son-in-law Hans Goslar (1889-1945) who was a senior official of the Prussian government during the Weimar Republic and a leader of the *Mizrachi" movement in Germany. Klee fled from Berlin to the Netherlands in 1938; Goslar was already in Amsterdam since 1933. Those who tried to save them from the Nazis were Klee’s other son-in-law, Simon Rawidowicz (Ravid's father), who was in London, and Klee’s son Hans, who was in Switzerland. In 1943 the Klee family was deported to Westerbork, where Alfred died. In 1944 the rest of the family was deported to Bergen-Belsen, where Goslar died. Only two of Klee’s granddaughters survived Bergen-Belsen. This study is based mainly on wartime correspondence between members of the family. Pp. 365-368 contain an account (in German) of the memorial service for Alfred Klee, held in Westerbork in November 1943.
