Description
The Hubert family home in Cronheim, Germany in the early 1930s. Standing in front of the house from left to right are Selmar (Sel), Emma, Hedwig, and Leo. The peaceful scene shown here was soon to be shattered, as an antisemitic mob ransacked the house during Kristallnacht in November 1938. Shortly after, the Huberts sold their home and made arrangements to send their children, Emma and Sel, away to England through the Kindertransport program. Despite their ability to save their children, Hedwig and Leo remained in Germany and died after being deported to Lublin and Piaski-Lublin concentration camps in 1943.
