German Genealogists. Jugend 1918-45. Das jüdische Jugendheim Das Jugendheim kurz nach der Fertigstellung Die Idee eines jüdischen Jugendheimes in Essen geht auf den Rabbiner Dr. Hugo Hahn zurück. In der Zeitschrift „Der Jugendbund" schrieb er im Jahr 1928: „Wir wollen in der Großstadt das Haus der Jugend, um die eingesessenen und die zugezogenen Jugendlichen sammeln und miteinander in Kontakt bringen zu können; wir wollen das Haus zu einem jüdischen Heim gestalten, in dem alle Jugendlichen sich wohl und glücklich fühlen sollen; es soll dieses Haus nicht zuletzt ein Mittelpunkt des geistigen Schaffens der Gemeinde werden.
"[1] Nach dem Vorbild der christlichen Jugendarbeit in den Gemeinden und insbesondere auch des 1911/12 errichteten evangelischen Weigle-Hauses sollte das jüdische Jugendheim ein Treffpunkt der gesamten jüdischen Jugend aus dem „Jüdischen Jugendverein", den verschiedenen Jugendbünden und Verbänden der jüdischen Jugendbewegung, den Sportvereinen sowie den Ausbildungs- und Erziehungsvereinen werden. Fußnoten. The Communities of Alsace A-Z: Resources. [General Information: English/Français/Deutsch] [Home] [Contact Us] Index: [A-E] [F-L] [M-R] [S-Z] [Administrative Breakdown] By Brian J. Smith - July, 2004 (last updated December, 2012) This page contains one person's advice about the best resources for researching our ancestors from Alsace.
Much of the material is written from the point of view of researchers like me, whose ancestors immigrated from Alsace to the United States and Canada sometime during the 1800's. Many records from Alsace are available, and for most communities they date back to the 1600's. The biggest problem with these these fine detailed records is that almost all of them are organized by community. (Some people suspect that their ancestors came from Alsace, but are not sure.
If you know that your ancestor originated in Alsace, here are several techniques for trying to learn the name of the community of your ancestor's origin:.

Old Essen Synagogue: RUHR.2010. Old Essen Synagogue / Design: wbp Landschaftsarchitekten Ingenieure, Bochum The former Essen synagogue, completed in 1913 by master builder Edmund Körner on behalf of the Jewish community, is the only free-standing major synagogue structure to have survived - at least externally - the Second World War. Today, it constitutes a unique cultural and architectural monument. The future House of Jewish Culture is, however, presented not as a museum and historical site but rather as a meeting place where people can come into contact with Jewish culture and the Jewish way of life. Jews are frequently reduced to the role of victims of the Nazi period and Jewish culture is often seen solely in the light of a religious community. With the aid of the architecture and exhibition areas, the historic building will shed light on questions relating to Jewish identities and lifestyles.
The project encompasses cultural programmes and events of various kinds. Communist Party of Germany - eNotes.com Reference. Rosa Luxemburg. Rosa Luxemburg (also Rozalia Luxenburg; Polish: Róża Luksemburg; 5 March 1871[1] – 15 January 1919) was a Marxist theorist, philosopher, economist and revolutionary socialist of Polish Jewish descent who became a naturalized German citizen.
She was successively a member of the Social Democracy of the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania (SDKPiL), the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), the Independent Social Democratic Party (USPD), and the Communist Party of Germany (KPD). In 1915, after the SPD supported German involvement in World War I, she and Karl Liebknecht co-founded the anti-war Spartakusbund ("Spartacus League") which eventually became the Communist Party of Germany (KPD). During the German Revolution she founded the Die Rote Fahne ("The Red Flag"), the central organ of the Spartacist movement. She considered the 1919 Spartacist uprising a blunder,[2] but supported it after Liebknecht ordered it without her knowledge.
Life[edit] Poland[edit] Germany[edit] Before World War I[edit] Segeroth and the Red Light District of Essen. The red light district of Essen, the Stahlstrasse, dates from about 1900, at which time it was called Heilig-Geist-Strasse and lay in the ‘traditional’ working-class district of Segeroth. This was a former meadow area for cattle which from the 1840s onwards was converted within a few decades into an ‘inner-city’ area with the establishment of the new coal-mining industry and steel industry. Today, the greater part of Segeroth has been taken over by the University. The new times were ushered in with the establishment around 1840 of 'Mathias‘, one of the first Mergel mines in the Ruhr area. The new industries, especially Krupp, ended up enticing workers from far afield. Segeroth was the area with the highest-density and the lowest average living quality in Essen. Politically Segeroth was for decades a stronghold of the socialist movement.
After their take over, the Nazis began there ‘cleansing’ of the Segeroth quarter. Review of a theatre piece.
