- Summary:
- Sigmund Stein was a prominent lawyer in the town of Hochburg -- a Jew, yes, but a German with deep roots in rural Germany. When fellow Jews urged Stein to leave Germany in the 1930s and after, he refused, arguing that he could best serve his people by acting as a buffer between the Jewish community and the Nazis. From 1933 to 1944 he was methodically stripped of his rights as a citizen and his dignity as a human being. The torment of his Jewish heritage and his proud German upbringing -- the divided loyalty of a lifetime -- was finally resolved in Auschwitz. Published in association with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
