Sample Book Insights:
#1 Fritz Croner was a German Jew who had grown up in a small German town. He was the richest young man in town, and he loved nothing more than to gun the motorcycle over the rutted roads of the tiny villages.
#2 Fritz’s German identity was not simply based on his birthright, but on historical fact. Deutsch-Krone, his birthplace, was in the northeast corner of Germany, not far from the Polish border. There were 300 Jews in and around Deutsch-Krone, out of a population of 12,000. They were totally comfortable and accepted without question in all aspects of community life.
#3 By 1932, it was clear that more and more members of the community were beginning to support the Nazis. The Protestants had a greater tendency to affiliate with the Nazis than the Catholics.
#4 In 1937, Fritz began making jewelry to trade in Berlin. He was not part of the action in Berlin, but he was still affected by theCrystal Night, when Nazis burned the synagogues and looted the Jewish shops.
