On November 14, 1920, like Else Ulich-Beil , she ran successfully for the Saxon state parliament , which, however, dissolved in September 1922 for new elections. In the state parliament she was active in the examination committee and was often a plenary speaker.

Stumbling block for Julie Salinger in Dresden

After the handover of power to the NSDAP in 1933, she experienced the gradual disenfranchisement and abuse of Jews and the Reichspogromnacht in Dresden. In 1940 she and her sister were forced to leave their apartment and move to a Jewish house . 1942 both were first with a home purchase contract expropriated and then on 25 August 1942 in the Theresienstadt ghetto deported where they died as a result of inhuman prison conditions.

Since 2012 in Dresden a stumbling stone has been reminding of Julie Salinger in front of her last freely chosen residential building at Bayreuther Straße 14 . In addition, a street in Dresden's Neustadt is named after her.
