Summary/Abstract: The document examines the persecution of Jews in Most during the Nazi occupation from 1938 to 1945. It highlights the lack of research on the Jewish minority in Most since the 1930s and the need to document their history, especially during the Holocaust. The study uses various sources, including home registration records, school catalogs, and voter lists, to create a comprehensive database of Jewish residents. It details the impact of the Nuremberg Laws, the destruction of the Most synagogue during Kristallnacht, and the subsequent liquidation of Jewish organizations. The document also discusses the confiscation of Jewish property, the forced emigration of Jewish residents, and the tragic fate of those who were deported to concentration camps. It concludes with reflections on the importance of preserving Jewish heritage and the ongoing efforts to document the community's history.
