This book relates the story of the Jews of Eppingen and surroundings who perished in the Holocaust (many of them relatives and friends of Frank's family). Most of those who perished were deported in October 1940 to the Gurs internment camp in southern France. Of 6,504 Jews deported from Baden, Pfalz, and Saar in the course of this action, more than 1,600 died in Gurs and other camps, ca. 1,500 were released or escaped, and the rest were transported to Drancy in August 1942-March 1943 and from there to Auschwitz. Traces the fate of 677 Jews who were targets of this roundup and deportation. Pp. 306-313 contain a list of their names, noting the vicinities where they were arrested and their final destinations. Describes the conditions in Gurs and the subsequent deportations of the camp inmates. Dwells, also, on commemoration of the victims in France and Germany.
