Beschrijving
Frankfurt, the biggest and most important city in Hessen, had one of the highest percentage of Jews of any city in Germany. In spite of the currency laws about half of the Hessen Jews were able to flee the country between 1933-41. In thousands of cases the Hessen tax office plundered the emigrants.
