My research wouldn’t have been possible without the support of many. I would like to say thank-you to all of them.
I would like to start with the 48 archives and institutions which I addressed. Most of them answered very quickly and comprehensively and supported my research or were ready to store the story of the Eisners in their archivs:
Special thanks go to Jennifer Lauxmann-Stöhr of the Stolperstein-Initiative Stuttgart. She combed through a lot of archives on her’s own initiative and found a lot of valuable information.
I would especially like to thank Rina Offenbach of the Atlit Detainee Camp. She searched not only a lot of information for me in different Israelian archives but when she heart of my research she offered me immediately to make me a contact to the children of Dr. Lothar Eisner. After so many month of research in which I couldn’t even find out the names of the children, he reached within hours that they contacted me.
Furthermore I would like to say thank you to Bianka Geißler of International Tracing Service (ITS) and Dr. Stefanie Jost of Bundesarchiv. Again and again they answered on my requests and sent me lots of files.
I was in constantly contact with Pawel Mrozek, the local historian of the Guttentag region. He supported my research wherever possible. Also Gerad Zajontz sent me a lot of information. Both of them I would like to thank.
The biggest thank goes to the three grandchildren of Rosa and Ludwig Eisner: John Meyerstein, Uri Eisner und Daniela Yogev. They gave me a warm welcome, although my grandfather fool their grandparents out of their money. Especially Uri was so kind to scan for weeks in the documents of his father and provided me with the most private letters of his father.
