Berlin, downtown, November 12, 1938, 1:15 AM. Rosemarie stopped at the corner and looked down the street toward her uncles Hans and Fritz’s Jewelry store. As she expected the windows were broken and the glass and other remnants of the previous night’s looting were still on the sidewalk. On the far corner, two Gestapo stood under the street light smoking. She recognized them by the “funny S” on their uniforms as her dead Jewish husband; Albert had called those shoulder markings. Looking back across the street she noticed the sign with the store name was smashed on the sidewalk. The advertising sign that usually hung in the window “Diamanten und Gold zu verkaufen” (Diamonds and Gold For Sale) was on the sidewalk below the window. Painted on it in large, red letters was the word JUDEN!
