The conversion of Lutz Löb and Jenny van Gelder from Judaism to Roman Catholicism profoundly impacted their extended family, as explored through a scientific-historical lens. The narrative follows their spiritual journey from baptism in 1907 to the experiences of their children, particularly Paula van Broekhoven-Löb, the sole survivor of the Nazi era. Utilizing historical documents and oral histories, the book aims to provide a balanced portrayal of the Catholic Löb family within their Jewish roots, countering decades of idealization and restoring their humanity.
