A group of some former Leipzigers, descendants and city officials attending a program at City Hall

Welcome!

herzlich willkommen!

This website was created for:

A. people who were born in Leipzig, Germany and were forced to leave by the Nazis from 1933 through 1945, and

B. for all their descendants located throughout the world, and

C. for everyone else who has an interest in Leipzig and it’s history related to the Holocaust and Holocaust Survivors.

Everyone is welcome and encouraged to share and partake in the reading and exchange of historical photos, documents and stories that they have and are being shared by former and current Leipzigers and their descendants. We also encourage all people, including current residents living in the City of Leipzig, Germany, as well as all other institutions, Jewish and secular, to provide us with their thoughts and experiences related to the Holocaust and post Holocaust period in Leipzig.

A big thank you also to the City of Leipzig and all institutions for their interest and support of this group. You can also visit our group page, Former Leipzigers, on Facebook!
