Description/Abstract

The documentation tries to capture the life of Holocaust survivor Otto Heimann/Bob Hyman who spent his youth in Bochum-Langendreer, Germany, and was forced by the National Socialists to leave parents, home, and country. The documentation does not claim to give a full picture, just an insight into Otto Heimann's/Bob Hyman's life.

It will be read out on June 6, 2023 in Bochum, Germany when a Stolperstein, a stumbling stone, will be place near Alte Bahnhstraße 6 in Bochum-Langendreer, Germany, to commemorate Otto Heimann/Bob Hyman, so that we and future generations may learn from history.

Diese Dokumentation versucht, das Leben Bob Hymans/Otto Heimanns, der seine Jugend in Bochum-Langendreer verbrachte und von den Nationalsozialisten gezwungen wurde, Heimat und Eltern zu verlassen zu beschreiben. Die Beschreibung stellt keinen Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit und mag lücken- und fehlerhaft sein.

Mögen zukünftige Interessierte diese Lücken füllen und Fehler verbessern und damit Bob Hymans Erinnerung lebendig zu halten.
