- In late 1941, over a thousand Jews from Württemberg were sent to Riga, with only a small fraction surviving the ordeal.
- The Jewish population in Stuttgart fell drastically from around 11,000 in the early 1930s to fewer than 250 after WWII.
- The 1952 opening of a new synagogue symbolized the community’s effort to restore Jewish presence in the city.
- Roland Müller emphasizes that despite ongoing antisemitism and internal struggles, the community managed to reestablish itself.
All the more, those individuals who succeeded in building a new community 'in the shadow of the Shoah' should be honored. Also to document: Hitler did not win.— Roland Müller speaks about the rebirth of the Jewish community in Stuttgart after the Holocaust.
