 " (...) Firemen (carried) several gasoline canisters (inside) and subsequently the fire developed into a large fire. (...) In front of the entrance to the synagogue stood a tall SS man in uniform, (...) but I suspect that this was the former Lord Mayor Dr. Sievers." This statement was made by the eyewitness Otto Leppin, who had to observe this horror scenario in the night of 9/10 November 1938 in the house opposite. After years of research, it turned out that this atrocity against the Jewish community was carried out under the direction of Dr. Sievers.
