I would also like to remember the two or three unnamed Christian euthanasia victims in Süssen who were murdered by the Nazis. Erwin Tänzer, Poldi Guggenheim, and Werner Ottenheimer died while I was writing this book. May the memory of all above-mentioned individuals be for a blessing. In honor of any surviving members of the Ottenheimer and Lang families, and with much gratitude to Hugo and Inge Lang and their family, Ruth Tänzer, Lilo Guggenheim, and Mel Levine.
