Isaak Hallemann

Isaak Hallemann (born April 18, 1896 in Drohobycz , Ukraine ; missing in 1942) was a pedagogue and since 1929 head of the Jewish orphanage in Fürth , his wife Clara was the housekeeper there. The family had four children.

In 1929 40 orphans lived in the house on what is now Hallemann-Strasse at the corner of Rosenstrasse.

During the Nazi era , the couple tried to emigrate to Palestine with the orphans , but this was rejected by the orphanage administration because the statutes of the orphanage foundation did not allow this.

Dr. phil. Isaak Hallemann was deported together with his wife Klara, his two children Eva Esther and Beate Rachel and 33 children from the orphanage on March 22, 1942 to Izbica , a ghetto near Lublin in Poland.

The children Raphael and Judith Hallemann managed to emigrate to Palestine.
