Life

family

The Jewish Rosenblatt family in Malsfeld , whose members belonged to the " Kehillah ", the synagogue community of Beiseförth , could be traced almost consistently since the first half of the 18th century.

Levi / Leo Rosenblatt was the son of the merchant and cattle dealer Daniel Rosenblatt (* December 20, 1851; † before 1935) and his first wife Malchen Rothschild (* around 1856; † around 1887). Around 1915 Leo Rosenblatt married Marga [rete] Falkenberg , with whom he had the children Ruth (born November 7, 1927; survivor of the Holocaust ) and Gerhard (born May 14, 1930; † 1944 in Auschwitz).

Career

Leo Rosenblatt took part in the First World War as a soldier , during which he was awarded the Iron Cross First Class and promoted to officer .

During the years of the Weimar Republic , Rosenblatt worked as an educator and teacher at the Jewish orphanage in Paderborn from 1920 to 1921 and then switched to schooling in the city of Berlin until 1929 .

On September 16, 1930, Rosenblatt registered in the then still independent community of Ahlem near Hanover and took over as director of the Israelite Horticultural School operated there from his predecessor Albert Silberberg .

Even during the time of National Socialism , after the November pogroms in 1938 and after the Lauterbacher campaign in 1941, Leo Rosenblatt lived with his family on the grounds of the horticultural school until March 1943, which by the National Socialists meanwhile became one of a total of 16 so-called " Jewish houses " in Hanover (a collection camp) had been converted.

In 1943 Leo Rosenblatt was deported from the Fischerhof train station to the Theresienstadt concentration camp with his wife Margarete and his children Ruth and Gerhard . From there, a further transport of the two male family members to the Auschwitz extermination camp in 1944 can be documented, “where both were murdered”.
