From 1910 he and his wife Friderike ran a textile goods business in Bischofswerda. As part of the persecution of the Jews, they were deported to the Theresienstadt concentration camp in 1942. Friderike probably already died in this camp, while Samuel, a seriously injured prisoner, was “ransomed” by the Swiss Red Cross. Her daughter Hella Hoffmann emigrated to Brazil in 1933 out of fear of the rising National Socialists. After the war, Samuel Hoffmann returned to Bischofswerda and moved to Dresden in 1947, where he died on February 17, 1952.
