Peter Fraenkel

Peter Fraenkel (died 12 December 2024) was born in 1926 into a middle-class Jewish family and grew up amidst the economic and political turmoil of the Weimar Republic that eventually led to the rise of Hitler to power in 1933.

Nazi oppressions grew year by year until Peter and his mother and father escaped in the nick of time just before the war began in 1939 and before the mass murders started.
