As with most other jewish families of the 19th and 20th century their experience is against a background of antisemitism, humilation and extermination. Whereas the Cohens under consideration here were already in Australia, the [[Main.CassirersFoundingYears|Cassirers]] and [[Main.ScatteredFromDessau|Falks]], as families who once migrated from the Russian Empire (Poland) and Austrian Empire (Galicia, Bohemia, Hungary) to the German Empire (Prussia), lost some of their loved ones in the [[Main.TheScatteredGenerations|Holocaust]]. The [[Main.CohenBeginnings|Cohen]] family escaped the Holocaust since they were already in Australia. The oppression of the Shoah unleashed by the Nazi regime caused the [[Main.ScatteredFromDessau|Falk]] and [[Main.CassirersFoundingYears|Cassirer]] family members to leave Berlin or face death. We have identified family members murdered in the Holocaust. [[Main.ScatteredFromDessau|Erich Falk]] escaped the Holocaust and ended with his family in Israel.  Click here for the [[Main.FamilyTreeIndex|family tree]] entries, and the [[Main.BreslauToBerlin|Ernst Cassirer]], [[Main.CassirersFoundingYears|Cassirer]], [[Main.ScatteredFromDessau|Falk]], and [[Main.CohenBeginnings|Cohen]] home pages.  For the site editor's other web pages see http://meta-studies.net, http://worlds-in-transition.com, http://things-that-count.net, and http://energyscience.org.au.

TEST This website is centered on a particular [[Main.CassirersFoundingYears|Cassirer]] and [[Main.CohenBeginnings|Cohen]] family and their descendants as they shaped their lives from the eighteenth century to this day.  In the course of that it touches on over 7,000 related people with more than 1,200 surnames. Of course unless you happen to be one of these people, the thing of interest is  likely to be the [[Main.Overview|histories]].
