Jewish Families In Scheindorf
In 1912, there were three individuals of the
Jewish faith living in Scheindorf. In 1930,
there were 19. Before the start of World War
II, there were five Jewish families in
Scheindorf. During the war, the Nazis took
all of the Jewish families to the
extermination camps. The women and children
were all killed. The men returned to
Scheindorf after the war and shortly
afterwards moved to Palestine. Palestine
became the state of Israel in 1948. At least
one Scheindorfer Swabian kept in contact
with one of these men. That person was
Francisca Tom Sieber. She and her family
moved to Clifton, New Jersey, USA in the
1960's from Scheindorf. When Mary and John
Weiss and other former Scheindorfers visited
Israel in the early 1970's, they met with
this man in Jerusalem.
