Introduction

Welcome to my blog, which I created in remembrance of Hansgeorg Isaac, who was a young victim of the Holocaust. Hansgeorg was born in Berlin, Germany, on December 17, 1926. He was an energetic young boy, even when his divorced parents placed him in a Jewish boarding school. His father was a writer, who wrote under the surname of Victor. Hansgeorg and his family lived in Berlin, a large, highly sophisticated city. The Jews of Berlin were highly assimilated and well-integrated into the social and cultural fabric of the city. Hansgeorg was a seven year-old schoolboy when the Nazis came to power. They immediately began passing antisemitic measures. Hansgeorg was being swept up into WWII.
