First in 1998, Thielen and Waldemar R. Röhrbein, the retired director of the Historisches Museum Hannover, [3] wrote the book Jewish Personalities in Hanover's History (Jüdische Persönlichkeiten in Hannovers Geschichte). It is organised as a history of the city, beginning in 1303, [3] with a focus on the contributions of Jewish personalities, rather than individual biographies. Around a hundred persons are described in some detail, [4] including the principal violinist of the court orchestra, Joseph Joachim. [3] A second edition, completely revised by Thielen, appeared in 2013, in memory of the November pogroms 75 years earlier. [4] [3]
