	Emma Bry	Toboggan path 12		Sep 20 2013	Emma Bry was born on February 3, 1871 in Schöneck in West Prussia in what is now Poland. Emma and Hermann Bry's marriage remained childless. After her husband's death, Emma Bry took over the business at Baumschulenstrasse 12, but the name "Kaufhaus Hermann Bry" was retained. The pogrom night on November 9, 1938 also affected their business. It was destroyed and looted and then “Aryanized”. On September 14, 1942 she was awarded the “2. large Alterstransport ”(train number“ Da 514 ”) deported from the Berlin-Moabit freight yard (Putlitzstrasse) to Theresienstadt. Before that, she was forced to sign a "home purchase contract" and all of her assets were confiscated. On April 19, 1944, she was murdered in Theresienstadt.
	Hermann Bry	Toboggan path 12		Sep 20 2013	Hermann Bry was born in Schrimm (now Poland) on August 23, 1872. In 1926 he was first mentioned as the owner of the "Kaufhaus Hermann Bry" at Baumschulenstrasse 12, his residential address was Rodelbergweg 12. His business was the target of the boycott of Jewish shops on April 1, 1933. Hermann Bry died in 1935 at the age of 63 suffered a stroke and was buried in section N7 of the Jewish cemetery in Berlin-Weißensee. From 1935 his wife Emma Bry took over the business on Baumschulenstrasse.
	Albert Byck	Kiefholzstrasse 181		23rd June 2015	Albert Byck was born on June 5, 1865 in Bentschen to Abraham Byck (1830-1917) and Tiene Graetz (1833-1912). In Berlin-Moabit he ran a zoological shop at Paulstrasse 40, then in 1932/33 he opened his pet shop in Baumschulenweg at Baumschulenstrasse 88. Since 1891 he was married to the saleswoman Fanny geb. Rosenbund (1868-1940). From this marriage 3 children were born. The Byck couple's apartment was first at Paulstrasse 25 and, from the mid-1930s, at Kiefholzstrasse 181 in Baumschulenweg. The zoological store at Baumschulenstrasse 88 is one of the Jewish shops in Baumschulenweg, which is listed in an NSDAP list from Treptow / Neukölln for the preparation of the nationwide boycott on April 1, 1933. The plot was devastated during the November pogrom in 1938, and a few days later it was expropriated. The Byck couple then moved to Dragonerstr. 32 (Mitte district - now Max-Beer-Strasse). Fanny Byck died on November 17, 1940. She was buried in the Jewish cemetery in Berlin-Weißensee. The inscription on her tombstone is only partially legible. In August 1942, Albert Byck was asked to go to the collection point at Grosse Hamburger Strasse 26. On August 17, 1942, he was deported from Berlin-Moabit train station to Theresienstadt. It was a passenger train, of the approx. 1,000 people transported, only 16 survived this ghetto. Albert Byck died there at the age of 77. His sister Selma did not survive the deportation either; she was murdered shortly before in the Litzmannstadt ghetto.
	Georg Heinsius	Baumschulenstrasse 90		March 16, 2018	Georg Heinsius was born on October 23, 1882 as the son of the businessman Alexander Heinsius and his wife Rosa, née Rosa. Zadeck was born in Berlin. After graduating from Königstädtisches Gymnasium, he studied medicine at the universities of Berlin, Heidelberg and Munich. In between he served with the 4th Guards Regiment in Berlin. His first medical office was on Nollendorfplatz in Berlin. In September 1914 he volunteered for a job at the front and worked as a doctor in the east and west until the end of World War I. After his release he practiced temporarily in the Rhineland. In June 1919 he married Gertrude Eger. A short time later he returned to Berlin, where he initially worked in Rudow Str. 75, Berlin-Rudow. In 1922 their son Fritz Werner was born in Berlin-Neukölln. Approx. In 1928 he moved to Baumschulenstrasse in Berlin-Baumschulenweg. 90/91. He also had his practice in this house. Patients were the civil servants who lived in this district in large numbers at the time. At the end of March 1933, his address was listed in a directory of the NSDAP in the Treptow / Neukölln district in preparation for the nationwide boycott of Jewish doctors and shops on April 1, 1933. Due to the general Nazi pressure on the clients of his practice, he moved to Wrangelstrasse 49 in Berlin-Kreuzberg in early 1938. In October 1938, before the November pogrom, his practice was completely expropriated. Then Dr. Heinsius repeatedly exposed to denunciations and police interrogations, so that a few weeks later the Heinsius couple decided to emigrate to the USA. However, like many others, his removal goods were confiscated by the Gestapo and later auctioned off. On June 29, 1939, he emigrated to the United States with his wife. A discriminatory body search was carried out on the ship (the "Hansa"). A new beginning in New York, which he had hoped for, was not possible. Completely penniless and after many disappointments, he committed suicide on December 23, 1941 in an attack of mental depression. The list of the many injuries in the official death certificate is shocking. He was buried in Fresh Pond Cemetery in the borough of Queens.
	Gertrude Heinsius	Baumschulenstrasse 90		March 16, 2018	Gertrude Heinsius was born on October 18, 1885 in Berlin. Her father, Paul Philipp Eger, comes from Breslau; he died in 1918 in an institution in Berlin-Buch. In 1919 he married Georg Heinsius in Frankfurt / Main. She learned to be a teacher. In 1922 their son Fritz Werner was born in Berlin-Neukölln. Approx. In 1928 the Heinsius family moved to Baumschulenstrasse in Berlin-Baumschulenweg. 90/91. Her husband also had his doctor's office in this house, and it can be assumed that she was responsible for the administrative work. In 1933 and in the following years, the Heinsius couple were boycotted and harassed in Baumschulenweg with regard to their Jewish faith. Her husband was then repeatedly exposed to denunciations and police interrogations, so that the Heinsius couple decided a few weeks later to leave for the USA. To do this, they booked the moving company Kopania & Co. from Berlin-Steglitz, which still exists today. However, as with many others, the removal goods were confiscated by the Gestapo and later auctioned off. On June 29, 1939, she and her husband emigrated to the USA. However, he was unable to make a new start in his professional life. Without his medical practice items and without cash, he committed suicide after many disappointments in an act of desperation on December 23, 1941. Gertrude Heinsius kept her head above water as a secretary in various medical practices in New York. Her condition worsened with age. Gertrude Heinsius died on August 7, 1965 at the age of 80 in New York.
	Anna Sophie Jacobi	Toboggan path 12		Sep 20 2013	Anna Sophie Jacobi b. Hirschberg, born on June 14, 1875 in Berlin; Mother of Käte Hilde Jacobi. She was deported to Theresienstadt on September 7, 1942 with the 58th Alterstransport and murdered in the Treblinka extermination camp on September 29, 1942.
	Kate Hilde Jacobi	Toboggan path 12		Sep 20 2013	Käte Hilde Jacobi, born on December 23, 1904 in Berlin, was a worker at Siemens-Halske in Berlin-Jungfernheide. She was arrested from work on March 1, 1943 and deported on the 31st Osttransport to Auschwitz, where she was murdered. The date of death is unknown.
	Albert Lerner	Eschenbachstrasse 1		23rd June 2015	Nothing is known about Learer's childhood and youth. What is certain is that he was born on August 23, 1897 in Szczakowa. This small town in the Kraków district belonged to Western Galicia, an area in what is now Poland that was under Austrian rule until 1918. How, when and why Albert Lerner came to Berlin, whether alone or with his family, where he lived before 1925 - there is still no answer to any of these questions. Thanks to the contemporary witness Martin Schaaff, who has since passed away, Learner's motives for adopting the Evangelical faith at the age of 28 are known. Because of his planned church wedding, he was baptized with Cornelia "Nelly" Hegenscheidt, a daughter of the dance teacher Ferdinand Hegenscheidt from the district, whose family was friends with the Schaaffs. Around 1910, the Schaaff family took over the seven-room apartment in the "bel étage" at Eschenbachstrasse 1 from Pastor Ahlenstiehl. After the death of father Schaaff in 1924, Ms. Schaaff gave the Lerner couple two rooms to sublet, which were then converted into a separate apartment, in which Lerner could stay until the end of the 1930s. As can be seen from the Berlin address books and confirmed by Martin Schaaff, Lerner worked as a commercial clerk in the shipping department of the transport company Schenker - even in a managerial position since 1936. Schaaff also remembers Albert Lerner as a humble, capable and always neatly dressed fellow man. The exciting search for further documents about Albert Lerner in the Brandenburg State Main Archives Potsdam (BLHA) brought to light the “declaration of assets” signed by him on February 24, 1943. From the end of 1941 onwards, every Jew destined for deportation had to fill out this multi-page form a few days before they were to be deported and state their remaining belongings and, if applicable, their remaining assets in a detailed questionnaire that spanned several pages. The document was used by the “Asset Valuation Office at the Regional Finance President of Berlin-Brandenburg” as a basis for recording and utilizing the property left behind by the deportees. These documents often provide informative information about their living conditions up to the time of their deportation. So also for Albert Lerner. He claims to have lived in a furnished room at Friedenstrasse 4 (today Friedrichshain) with a landlord named Löwenthal since December 1942. This address is a so-called Jewish house with at least 18 “Jewish apartments”. Since May 1, 1939, all Jews - since the “Aryan” neighbors could no longer be expected to live together, as it was called in the parlance at the time - had to leave their apartments in the houses whose owners were “German-blooded” and to stay in Jews' houses search. Many people were housed very cramped there, which ultimately made it possible for their captors to be evacuated in groups. The fact that at the beginning of 1943 Lerner no longer owned any furniture or household items, let alone property or other valuables, can be seen from the relevant sections of the document, all of which have been crossed out. Lerner answers the question “Jew?” On page 1 of the declaration with “yes”, on page 2 he states his denomination as “Protestant”. This is where the particular tragedy of Albert Lerner's fate lies: On the one hand, he was probably one of the baptized Jews who were removed from Judaism. It is not noted in the 1931 “Jewish address book of Greater Berlin”. For the Nazi bureaucracy, however, only the religious affiliation of the parents and grandparents was used as a criterion for racial classification, and so Lerner was and remained a "racial Jew" for the Nazis despite his baptism as a Protestant Christian many years before the seizure of power. "Full Jew". But that's not all: For the Nazis, the Galician-born Jew Lerner was one of the so-called Eastern Jews, who had been an extremely “popular” target of anti-Semitic propaganda since the beginning of the 20th century and were a particular thorn in the side of the new rulers. The “Law on the Revocation of Naturalizations and the Revocation of German Citizenship”, which was enacted on July 14, 1933 and targeted political refugees living abroad and Jews and Lerner naturalized in the Weimar Republic, was directed against this population group. That is why he claims to be “stateless”, having held German citizenship until 1934. Lerner's statement that he was employed as a worker at Graetz AG in Treptower Elsenstrasse also turned out to be particularly interesting - since when is unknown. The fact is that with this market leader for kerosene and gas lights, which supplied weapons and ammunition during the world wars, as a so-called military operation, more than 500 Jews known by name were forced to work from September 1940. In the 2010 edition of the Treptow-Köpenick yearbook and reader, Monika Niendorf reported in the article “Ehrich & Graetz - A Box Full of Fates” about the circumstances in this “vitally important” company. Albert Lerner was actually one of those affected; I found his photo in the image file that had been preserved. At the time of admission he was not yet 45 years old. The photo suggests that it is a much older man. It is also documented that until November 1942 Lerner sublet lived with the Jewish slave laborer named Gerhard Hirsch at Neue Königstrasse 75 in Berlin-Mitte - until his deportation on November 29, 1942 with the 23rd transport to Auschwitz. When and where exactly Albert Lerner was arrested could not be determined. It is documented that immediately before the "factory action" carried out on February 27, 1943, Lerner was brought to Auschwitz on February 26 as one of a total of 1,100 deportees on the 30th transport to the east. The names of 901 Jews living in Berlin are recorded on the transport list. The others had previously been brought to Berlin from other cities and regions in Germany. Seven other people were affected from Lerner's last address at Friedenstrasse 4 alone - including his landlady. Lerner's name can be found on sheet 52 under number 1008. Only eleven people on this transport survived the Holocaust. However, since Albert Lerner's transport to the extermination camp less than 50 kilometers from his place of birth, there has been no further evidence of his life. The exact date of his death is not known. According to the memorial books of the Berliners and the German Jewish victims of National Socialism, it is considered lost. For the authorities, however, the Lerner file was not yet closed: the “assets” of each deportee still had to be disposed of by the German Reich. When inspecting Lerner's room in Friedenstrasse, the bailiff found on April 29, 1943 that there was no estate, which made eviction unnecessary. On the same day, the judicial officer meticulously listed the expenses of 2.50 Reichsmarks to be reimbursed to him for this act. Lerner's last wage of 95.81 Reichsmarks was declared - like that of all deported Jewish forced laborers - "as for the Reich". Graetz AG transferred the amount to the Oberfinanzkasse Berlin-Brandenburg, Alt-Moabit 143 on October 8, 1943 - around eight months after Lerner's deportation. Until January 30, 1933 Albert Lerner was obviously a completely normal citizen of Berlin. Ten years later he was deported to Auschwitz. Seventy years after the end of the Nazi era, the Evangelical Church Community Baumschulenweg honored its long-standing parishioner, who was not able to save baptism from persecution by the Nazis, with a stumbling block. The Cologne artist Gunter Demnig let it into the pavement of the sidewalk in front of the house at Eschenbachstrasse 1 on June 23, 2015.

	Detmar Prinz	Ekkehardstrasse 5		23rd June 2015	Detmar Prinz was born in Berlin on August 25, 1887. His parents were Moritz Prinz (from Preussisch-Stargard - died in Berlin-Baumschulenweg in 1849) and Dorothea Prinz born. Hoch (from Festenberg - died 1910). He learned the profession of a bank clerk. The job is not known. On January 11, 1912, he married the accountant Louise Abraham and then lived in Ekkehardstr. 5 in Berlin-Baumschulenweg. Both stated "Mosaic" as their religion. Children were not born in marriage. On October 12, 1941, Detmar Prinz and his wife Louise committed suicide. Detmar Prinz's gravestone is in a grave complex with those of his wife, father and mother at the Weissensee Jewish Cemetery.
