Kas­sel, 90s. Whe­re are the Jewish class­ma­tes who are miss­ing from the class reuni­on photos?

They were born in 1914, grew up in Kas­sel and all atten­ded the same school class. They are miss­ing from the pho­tos of the regu­lar class reuni­ons in the post-war peri­od, the seven Jewish girls in the class. (How) did they sur­vi­ve the war and Natio­nal Socia­lism? More than 50 years later, the grand­d­augh­ter of one of their class­ma­tes embarks on a world­wi­de search to find out what hap­pen­ed to them.
