Dieses Buch hat eine sonderbare Entstehungsgeschichte. Eine New Yorker Zeitung hatte Ende der 80er Jahre des 20. Jahrhunderts von der Restaurierung der altehrw�rdigen Synagoge im Dorf Alsenz/Nordpfalz durch einen evangelischen Pfarrer berichtet. Jack Heinz Honig (Parlin, N.J., USA), ein geb�rtiger Jude aus Alsenz, h�rte von diesem Bericht. Sofort wurde sein Interesse geweckt, hatte er doch einst in der Alsenzer Synagoge seine Bar Mizwa gefeiert und kurz nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg als amerikanischer Soldat mit Wehmut die heruntergekommene ehemalige Synagoge in Alsenz gesehen. Brieflich setzte er sich mit dem neuen Besitzer der renovierten Synagoge in Verbindung und gratulierte zur gelungenen Renovierung. Ein reger Briefwechsel zwischen Jack Honig (Parlin, USA) und Familie Knerr (Alsenz) begann. Es kam zu Besuchen in Alsenz und zu Gegenbesuchen in Parlin/USA. Jack Honig erz�hlte, dass er an seiner Biographie schreibe. Sie behandele auch seine leidvollen Erfahrungen als Jude w�hrend des Dritten Reiches und die N�te eines armen Emigranten. Meine Frau Karin Zimmer-Knerr bekundete lebhaftes Interesse an dieser Arbeit und erkl�rte sich bereit, das Werk aus dem Englischen ins Deutsche zu �bersetzen. Mitte der 1990er Jahre begann meine Frau mit der �bersetzungsarbeit. Als das ihr lieb gewordene Werk fast vollendet war, erkrankte sie schwer. Nach l�ngerem Leiden starb sie 2007, ohne das Erscheinen des Buches zu erleben, an dem sie jahrelang mit Eifer gearbeitet hatte. Nach einigem Z�gern wurde mir klar, dass ich das von meiner Frau begonnene Werk fortsetzen und zum Abschluss bringen m�sse. Zwei Gr�nde waren ma gebend f�r diesen Entschluss: Erstens erschien mir die Biografie von Jack Heinz Honig f�r die Kultur- und Zeitgeschichte der Nordpfalz in der ersten H�lfte des 20. Jahrhunderts in hohem Ma e bedeutsam. Zweitens f�hlte ich mich meiner verstorbenen Frau gegen�ber verpflichtet, die Jahre ihres Lebens der Besch�ftigung mit dem Judentum und der �bersetzung der Biografie von
