1708 bis 1940 die Lemle-Moses-Klausstiftung.
Die Klaussynagoge
Sie diente vor allem den orthodoxen jüdischen mitbürgerinnen
und mitbürgern mannheims als haus des gebetes und des
studiums der heiligen schriften.
Während der schreckenszeit der nationalsozialistischen
gewaltherrschaft wurde die Klaussynagoge in der
pogromnacht vom 9. Auf 10. November 1938 geschandet und sehr
stark beschadigt.
Mit der deportation von fast 2000 jüdischen mitbürgerinnen
und mitburgern nach Gurs am 22.10.1940 wurde auch das
leben dieser jüdischen einrichtung ausgeloscht.
1953 wurden die gebäudereste endgültig entfernt.

to Gurs on October 22, 1940,
the life of this Jewish institution was also wiped out.
In 1953 the remains of the building were finally removed.

1. Pogrom. Wikipedia
A pogrom is a violent riot incited with the aim of massacring or expelling an ethnic or religious group, particularly Jews. The term entered the English language from Russian to describe 19th- and 20th-century attacks on Jews in the Russian Empire (mostly within the Pale of Settlement). Similar attacks against Jews which also occurred at other times and places became known retrospectively as pogroms. Sometimes the word is used to describe publicly sanctioned purgative attacks against non-Jewish groups. The characteristics of a pogrom vary widely, depending on the specific incident, at times leading to, or culminating in, massacres.(Submitted on March 13, 2024, by James Hulse of Medina, Texas.)
2. Gurs internment camp. Wikipedia
Gurs internment camp was an internment camp and prisoner of war camp constructed in 1939 in Gurs, a site in southwestern France, not far from Pau.(Submitted on March 13, 2024, by James Hulse of Medina, Texas.)The camp was originally set up by the French government after the fall of Catalonia at the end of the Spanish Civil War to control those who fled Spain out of fear of retaliation from Francisco Franco's regime. At the start of World War II, the French government interned 4,000 German Jews as "enemy aliens", along with French socialist political leaders and those who opposed the war with Germany.Photographed By James Hulse3.
