Ingeborg Jacobson
Ingeborg Jacobson (born March 19, 1915 in Berlin ; † December 1942 in Auschwitz ) was a German merchant of Jewish origin, a member of the Confessing Church (BK), chief secretary in the Grüber office and a victim of the Shoa .
Life
Jacobson came from the family of a Jewish doctor who had converted to the Evangelical Church . She attended elementary school and then high school . In 1930 she was in Berlin Christ Church confirmed and was then a member of a girls Bible circle , in which the Christian commitment to unconditional charity was taught to all persecuted and oppressed and lived. Several Christians of Jewish origin gathered in it. She became a member of the MBK. After graduating from high school , she worked in the office of the Fripa paper company .
On the night of the pogrom of November 9, 1938 , she witnessed how SA men broke into her parents' apartment and attacked her mother. That evening she fled to her friend, Maria Barkhof, and stayed with her. The father has not yet been deported because, as the bearer of the Iron Cross, he was one of the “ privileged Jews ”.
Charlotte Friedenthal , assistant to Superintendent Martin Albertz in the leadership of the Confessing Church, won Jacobson as secretary for the Grüber office. From October 1938 she initially helped him in the parsonage in Berlin-Kaulsdorf . From December 1938 until the closure of the “Pfarrer Grüber office” on December 19, 1940, she was chief secretary.
Since 1939 Jacobson had to use the additional first name "Sara" and since September 1941 wear the Jewish star. Grüber had promised her that if the situation worsened , he would help her to emigrate - a promise that he could no longer keep because of his own arrest . Since then, other confidants have advocated emigration via Switzerland , but the Bern authorities refused. After the Grüber office was closed, Jacobson passed the name of the previously carer to Helene Jacobs so that they could continue to be cared for by a group of the Berlin-Dahlem denominational community. During this time she attended a course for lay ordination part. This training should enable them to carry out church work in the area of their “emigration” (as the official name for deportation was called).
Since 1942 Jacobson had to do forced labor in a factory in Berlin-Treptow . Without any prior notice, the father, mother and daughter Ingeborg were picked up for deportation in November 1942. But because her company complained about it, she came back the next day. The parents were deported to Auschwitz on November 29th. In December she herself came to the collection camp on Große Hamburger Strasse . From there she was deported to Auschwitz on December 9, 1942 and murdered.
