List of stumbling blocks in the district and in the city of Gotha

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The list of stumbling blocks in the district and in the city of Gotha contains all known stumbling blocks in the area in question.

Various victims were the target of the Poland Action : Poland Action refers to the short-term deportation of up to 17,000 Jewish Poles from the German Reich at the end of October 1938 . The deportation was violent and came as a complete surprise for those affected. Herschel Grynszpan , whose parents were affected, shot the German embassy employee Ernst vom Rath on November 7th in Paris , who died on November 9th, which in turn was the cause of the November pogroms in 1938 .
