01.2 | Anton Rose ran a cinema in Darmstadt. In 1934 the Hessen-Nassau Gau [district] office sought to have him excluded from the Reich Film Chamber. Anton Rose was initially successful in his appeal against the exclusion, but three years later the family business was placed under a definitive ban. Anton Rose was later murdered in Auschwitz; twelve other members of his family also fell victim to the genocide.

‘So far the only thing to have been stated to his disadvantage is that he looks like a gypsy.’
