Kristallnacht in Words and Photographs

Julius Chaimowicz
Chaimowicz, pictured with his twin brother Alfred in 1937, recalls, "In 1938 looting of Jewish stores was very common. Our apartment was on the fourth floor. We had bars in front of the window; either my father or my grandfather had put them up so that we (children) would be able to look out but not fall out of the windows. We saw the Jewish grocery store being looted. The goods were simply thrown out of the window."
