A particular focus is on the fates of the Lorch and Mendels families, who lived in Harsewinkel for many years and were an integral part of community life. The Nazis’ rise to power brought an end to this peaceful coexistence and led to the deprivation of rights, the destruction of Jewish property, expulsion, and deportation.
