A special Bar Mitzvah

Jack Heiman was born in Demmelsdorf, (about 10 miles from Bamberg), where his family had lived for centuries. In 1939 he escaped the Britain, and in 1940 to the USA.

He brought his family from Chicago to Bamberg to celebrate his grandson's Bar Mitzvah on 16 June. He not only wanted to show them where he was born and where his ancestors were buried (in the beautiful Zeckendorf cemetery), he looked upon the Bar Mitzvah of his grandson in Bamberg as a sort of victory over the Nazis. (See press report in Appendix 6, which features his own words).
