{"product_id":"annette-prosinger-alfred-landecker-9783835359956","title":"Alfred Landecker","description":"Alfred Landecker's life illustrates the fate of the vast majority of Jewish people in 20th century Germany at the time.From rural eastern Prussia to an industrial city in Germany's southeast: shortly before the start of the First World War, Alfred Landecker decided to make a considerable leap. Raised in a large Jewish family in the town of Nordenburg, as a young man Alfred left the area for Mannheim. After years on the Western Front, he worked as a business representative in a machine factory, became acquainted with his future Catholic wife Maria Geßner, and started a family. In 1928, Maria died. Subsequent Nazi persecution from 1933 would place Alfred and his three children - designated 'half Jews' through the Nuremberg Laws - in a hopeless situation. In 1942, Landecker was deported 'to the east' and murdered. 'Times change, and with the times, people change as well' he had written four years earlier in a letter to his daughter. This biography describes how 'changed times' intruded into ­Alfred Landecker's life and destroyed it.","brand":"Wallstein Verlag GmbH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53794549399894,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/annette-prosinger-alfred-landecker-9783835359956","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
