Narrative
In early 1933, Darmstadt was the first city in Germany to force Jewish shops to close, shortly after the Nazis took power in Germany (during this first incident, shops were only closed for a day, for "endanger[ing] communal order and tranquility").
In 1942, over 3,000 Jews from Darmstadt were first gathered in a collection camp in the Liebigschule, and then deported to concentration camps where most were killed.
