Jewish lives in Wedel

Description:

In the past, Wedel was home to neither an established Jewish community nor much of a Jewish presence. To reach the nearest synagogue, worshippers had to travel either to Altona or to Elmshorn. This video aims to introduce you to Jewish life in Wedel through the story of Jetta Husmann, who lived there until 1942. She was a businesswoman who, due to her Jewish heritage, was forced to endure the repressive measures of the National Socialists. Later, she also received a deportation order. To learn more about her, we visited the City Archives in Wedel. Melina, Nour, Emi, Anni, and Sarah Class 12b, Stadtteilschule Rissen
