Wo ist Heimat?

Memoirs of a German Jew, born in 1923 in Hamburg. Oppenheim experienced the rise of the Nazi regime and its consequences as a young schoolboy. He had to leave his high school in 1936 and attend a Jewish school instead. Later, instead of studying at a university, he became an apprentice mechanic. The "Kristallnacht" pogrom interrupted Oppenheim's professional training. In May 1939, the Oppenheim family left Hamburg and emigrated to Bolivia, and later to Uruguay. Oppenheim returned to Germany in 1972. (From the Bibliography of the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism - The Hebrew University of Jerusalem)
