This study offers a transnational history of the Holocaust based on a study of a well-known Berlin Jewish family, the Veit Simons. We use this tangled family history as a point of departure for a transnational history of the Holocaust. In particular, we show how to read the links connecting the protagonists to the wider world as a means of writing transnational history. Their history also shows the interconnectedness of perpetrators and victims. Moreover, we demonstrate the importance of the category of class for our understanding of the experience of Holocaust history. While the Veit Simons could hold off some of the persecution, eventually the Holocaust brought them to the ground, resulting in a story of illness, death, and loss. Finally, we read the story from feminist angle, offering an examination of the interplay of gender, class, and persecution, examining how gender played out in coping while losing one’s former class.
