VitteStolpersteinClaraArnheim.jpg Clara Arnhem Vitte, Norderende 174 location Aug 10, 2011 The painter Clara Arnheim (1865–1942) was a member of the Hiddensoer Künstlerinnenbund . She regularly spent the summer on the island in the house of the Schwartz baker family on the north end. After 1933 she was banned from working as a Jew. Thanks to the help of the baker's family, she was then provided with essentials. She was deported from Berlin to the Theresienstadt ghetto in July 1942 and died there a few weeks later.
The house was still used as a bakery for decades, and today it houses a café.
VitteStolpersteinHenniLehmann.jpg Henni Lehmann Vitte, Wiesenweg 2 location Jul 14, 2008 Henni Lehmann (1862–1937) was a painter and founder of the Hiddensoer Künstlerinnenbund . From 1907 she spent the summer on Hiddensee and got involved in local politics. As a Jew persecuted by the National Socialist rulers, she committed suicide in 1937. Her former home in Wiesenweg was temporarily used as the town hall after the Second World War and is now used as the Henni Lehmann House for public events and as a library.

VitteStolpersteinSusanneRitscher.jpg Susanne Ritscher Vitte, Süderende 130 location Aug 10, 2011 Like her sister Käthe Löwenthal, Susanne Ritscher (1886–1975) was a painter. In 1912 she bought a fisherman's house at the southern end of Vitte. After her marriage in 1915, she only painted as a hobby. After the divorce from her non-Jewish husband, she lost her protected status. Warned in good time of the impending deportation by the village police in her home town of Schöneiche near Berlin , she was able to escape and survived in various hiding places until the end of the Second World War. In 1975 she died in Munich.
