Germany’s defeat in World War I produced fertile ground for a Nationalistic movement.
The screws tighten against German Jewry, culminating in the Night of Broken Glass.
Cattle cars stuffed with human cargo became rolling death wagons.
Those Jews fortunate enough to escape immediate death, were subjected to back-breaking labor, morning till night.

Final acts of hatred preceded the long-awaited liberation.
