Born in 1913 in Frankfurt, Jessel led an extraordinary twentieth-century life on three continents. In 1945, Jessel returned to Germany as an American soldier and sought out his former classmates, hoping to understand how they survived, or thrived, in Nazi Germany. Incredibly personal and honest, "Class of '31" is a valuable primary source for anyone interested in the history of German Jews. 410 0$aHolocaust (Boston, Mass.) 606 $aNational socialism$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$zGermany 606 $aJews$xPersecutions$zGermany$zFrankfurt am Main 606 $aJews$zGermany$zFrankfurt am Main$xHistory$y1933-1945 607 $aGermany$xSocial conditions$y1933-1945 607 $aGermany$xHistory$y1933-1945 607 $aFrankfurt am Main (Germany)$vBiography 615 0$aNational socialism$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945 615 0$aJews$xPersecutions 615 0$aJews$xHistory 676 $a943.086 686 $aBIO008000$aHIS043000$2bisacsh 700 $aJessel$b Walter$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut.$01796518 701 $aNeufeld$b Michael J$01796519 702 $aCrim$b Brian$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt. 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910960800903321 996 $aClass of '31$94338323 997 $aUNINA
