Conversation with Contemporary Witness Renate Aris
As a child, Renate Aris (b. 1935) narrowly escaped deportation to Theresienstadt. She has been an active member of the Jewish community in Chemnitz since the 1980s. To this day, she is head of the Jewish Women's Association, which she (re)founded in 1999.
