	Hulda Silberberg	Bochumer Str. 45	Hulda Silberberg, born in 1883, lived here . Before deportation, she escaped to her death on 3.1.1942		Hulda Silberberg came from a long-established Jewish merchant family who owned a large men's fashion store in Gelsenkirchen on Bochumer Strasse at the main train station until 1938. She was single and childless and was also cared for by her brothers Hermann and Salomon. Salomon emigrated to London. A few weeks before the wave of deportations in January 1942, Hermann and his family received a visa for Bolivia and wanted to take his sister with him. But Hulda Silberberg was the only member of the Silberberg family who did not want to leave Gelsenkirchen. On January 3, 1942, at the age of 58, she chose to flee to death in view of the threat of deportation. Hulda Silberberg was buried in the Jewish cemetery in Gelsenkirchen-Ückendorf ; a tombstone still exists there today. Her nephew Helmuth Silberberg had been sent by his parents to Amsterdam in 1938, where he was briefly friends with Anne Frank in June 1942 at the age of 16, and he appears in her diary; he later lived under a different name in the USA and died in 2015. According to his letters, he was delighted that the stumbling block was set for his aunt Hulda in 2010.
	Helene Lewek	House portal at today's Neustadtplatz 6 with stumbling block for Helene Lewek	Helene Lewek, born in 1881, lived here . Before deportation, she fled to death on January 25, 1942	(not shown: second stone on Wildenbruchstrasse, police station)	The house at the former Moltkeplatz 6 (today Neustadtplatz 6), which survived World War II and is now a listed building, was a so-called “ Jewish house ”, where Jewish residents were forcibly concentrated since the late 1930s. It was the involuntary last residence of Helene Lewek. She was born in Mixstadt in the then Prussian province of Posen, right on the border to Russian Poland , in 1881 and came to the mining town of Gelsenkirchen at the beginning of the 20th century. On January 27, 1942, a major deportation of Gelsenkirchen Jews to Riga took place, where most of them were murdered and only a few survived. The people had to spend the days before the removal in a collection camp on Wildenbruchplatz. There, 60-year-old Helene Lewek evaded being abducted by choosing to flee to her death two days before the transport. Therefore, a second stumbling block with her name was laid on Wildenbruchstrasse at the level of today's police station (about 7 minutes' walk from Neustadtplatz). Both stones were only symbolically relocated on February 9, 2010 due to severe frost; the final installation took place in the following June.
