Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article was to provide an outline of the history of the Jewish community in Osnabrück in the context of the events that took place in the first half of the 20th century. The city located in Lower Saxony is an interesting example of how the progressive acts of aggression and anti-Semitism towards the Jewish inhabitants led ordinary Germans to become indifferent to the harm done to their friends, colleagues and neighbors. This is particularly evident in the memories of Holocaust survivors who had to deal with the memory of their German homeland, with which most of them strongly identified before the war.
