Folded. *The Jewish Circus Lorch was founded by Hirsch Lorch mid-20th century It was a successful circus that travelled through Germany until the political climate changed in the 30s; the growing antisemitism caused its downfall and bankruptcy. Only a few members of the Lorch family survived the Holocaust, some of them by finding refuge at the German Althoff circus, where they worked undercover and were protected by Adolf Althoff.
