The man was a prominent citizen and friend of the girl's family. The father of the girl asked the friend to keep an eye on her as she lived in Nuremberg away from her family. In pre-war Germany people in the girl's apartment reported the two were seeing each other and having an affair. The man was arrested in 1941. The 1942 trial found him guilty of racial crimes and he was executed. IN 1932, IRENE SCHEFFLER, a vivacious, beautiful, young photographer, moved from the provincial town where she'd been raised to the city of Nuremberg. Her father wanted someone to keep an eye on her as she attempted to make her way in the world, and his old friend and business colleague, Leo Katzenberger, an urbane German Jew, agreed to help. He found her an apartment in a building he owned that adjoined the offices where he worked each day. A friendship developed between Irene and the sixty-year-old Leo. Other tenants in the apartment house started to gossip - there was talk of signals at the window and kissing in the stairwell. Soon the neighborhood teemed with rumors. Harmless gossip turned into a death sentence when Nazi judges condemned Katzenberger for racial offenses, and on June 3, 1942, Katzenberger was beheaded. Irene was convicted of perjury and sentenced to two years of labor. After the war, she testified against Oswald Rothaug, the judge who ordered Katzenberger's execution, at the Nuremberg Trials. (In the 1961 filmJudgement at Nuremberg, Judy Garland played the part of Irene and Burt Lancaster the Nazi judge.) The Maiden and the Jewchronicles how, bit by bit and sometimes chunk by chunk, a government, with the full cooperation of many of its citizens, stripped away the most basic rights of others, all in the name of patriotism.
