Octavo, paper boards, 22 x 15 cm, [viii], 132 pages; backstrip chipped, paper toned and a little brittle, with torn title page and occasional chipping, decent condition overall. Half-tone photos throughout.
A very evocative guide book to "Jewish excursions" in Frankfurt and Hessen, dedicated to "My wife, Bertha Lilienthal, née Fuchs. My hiking companion on rocky roads." The preface is dated almost exactly a year before Kristallnacht. The author was the chief cantor at the main synagogue in Wiesbaden. He and his wife fled to Amsterdam in June 1939. He was transported to Theresienstadt in 1943 and murdered in October 1944. His wife's exact fate is unknown.
