[our trip to Europe].
No full textThe memoir was written after the first trip to Germany in 1996 with his wife Nina. It is a description of this visit and a reflection of the author's feelings towards Germany, and of the Holocaust and its remembrance. His stepfather Henry Levinstein and other family members would never talk about the events. Werner Kleeman was contacted to receive more information on the family roots in Germany--he was a friend of Fred Strauss from World War 2. On the trip, Robert and Nina Strauss went to Weisenbron, Germany, to visit the Jewish cemetery and finding out more about their ancestors. They encounter a woman who tells them about Samson Eichenbronner, Robert Strauss' great grandfather he did not know about. The next stop on the journey is Themar, home to Robert's stepfather Henry Levinstein. They meet a woman who not only knew members from the family, but also witnessed the persecution of Jews in this little town. They also discuss the East German past, since Themar was in former East Germany. To their surprise, people were quite nostalgic about their lives under a communist regime.Werner Kleeman, August 2003Robert Strauss was born in the USA in 1956. His father, Fred Strauss, was born in New York, of German Jewish ancestry. His grandmother, Hannah Eichenbronner Strauss, was born in Germany and came to America in her teens, long before the Holocaust. Fred Strauss died in 1959. His widow married another man of German Jewish ancestry, Henry Levinstein, who was born in Themar, Germany.Buchenwald (Concentration or internment camps)Jewish communities-
