Chanukah 1932 Kiel Germany

Rachel Posner, wife of Rabbi Dr.Akiva Posner, took this photo from inside the family home on Chanukah 1932. Rabbi Posner was the last Rabbi of the community in Kiel, Germany. The Posner family left Germany in 1933 and arrived in Palestine in 1934. On the back of the photograph, Rachel Posner wrote:

"Juda verrecke"
die Fahne spricht
"Juda lebt ewig"
erwidert das Licht"

"Death to Judah"
So the flag says
"Judah will live forever"
So the light answers

Both the photograph and the menorah are featured in the new Holocaust History Museum at Yad Vashem
