The two had two daughters together, Edith (born December 31, 1922) and Marianne (born September 11, 1924). While the National Socialists had already taken power in the German Reich , Cahn hid relatives from the Ruhr area in their house, who fled to France. When the Saar area became part of the Third Reich after the Saar referendum , the furniture business was affected by boycott measures. Alfred Cahn was arrested for the first time in 1935 and severely abused by the Gestapo . The second arrest followed in 1938 as part of the Reichspogromnacht . Alfred Cahn came to Dachau , but was released shortly afterwards. Nevertheless he stayed in Ottweiler. Attempts to emigrate failed due to the lack of family support. They had to sell their house, whereby the father-in-law enriched himself with the remaining family fortune, and temporarily stayed with a family friend. As part of the Bürckel-Wagner campaign , Alfred and Gertrude Cahn came to Auschwitz , where they were both murdered on August 16, 1942. Her two daughters came to Stutthof concentration camp , where they were murdered in October 1944. |
