I think we've done a thread on New London. Mom had a cousin who was a survivor, and the family would not talk about it. I think it may have been survivor's guilt, as so many families lost loved ones.

The Chancellor of Germany sent a condolence letter. I guess he assumed no Jewish kids attended the school
