Life

The family fled the German occupation to Marseille , where they were arrested in 1944. The father was brought to the Dachau concentration camp and died shortly after its liberation from the consequences of the imprisonment, the mother died in the Auschwitz concentration camp .

Jacqueline Morgenstern was sent to Neuengamme concentration camp , where she and other children were deliberately infected with tuberculosis . With the human experiments, he wanted to prove that tuberculosis can be combated by artificially produced skin tuberculosis and that "racially inferior people" are more susceptible to tuberculosis. Shortly before the end of the war, the children were taken to the Bullenhuser Damm school and hanged there to cover up the experiments.

In 1993 in Hamburg-Schnelsen , the Jacqueline-Morgenstern-Weg was named after her.
