A revolutionary new theory and call to action on animal rights, ethics, and law from the renowned philosopher Martha C. Nussbaum. Animals are in trouble all over the world.

Discusses the fate of Jews in Neukirchen during the Nazi period. Traces the boycott against Jewish enterprises, Nazi legislation, gradual discrimination and persecution, events of the Olympic games in 1936, the first waves of emigration in 1936-37, the "Kristallnacht" pogrom, and Aryanization. In September 1939 only a small number of Jews remained in Neukirchen, and very few of them were able to escape. Inter alia, traces the fate of the Nussbaum family. Some of its members, mainly the younger ones, managed to emigrate in time. Natalie Nussbaum (b. 1873), who moved to Frankfurt in 1936, was deported to the Lodz ghetto in October 1941 and murdered in Chelmno in 1942. Dina Nussbaum (b. 1877), her youngest daughter, and one of her sons and his family were deported to Minsk and murdered in October 1941. After the deportation of the last seven Jewish residents in May 1942, Neukirchen was declared Judenrein. 69 of the 138 Jews who lived in Neukirchen in 1932 were murdered during the Holocaust.
