Margit Gutmann (born December 19, 1903 in Erding ; died presumably in 1943 in Auschwitz concentration camp ) was a German teacher and victim of the Holocaust .
Life
Gutmann was the daughter of the higher regional judge Arthur Gutmann and his wife Julie Gutmann, nee Rosenstern. Since her father was transferred to Nuremberg in 1907 , Margit attended the local preschool at the municipal high school for girls in Labenwolfstrasse from 1910 to 1912. After her father accepted a call to Munich , she went to primary school in Munich- Bogenhausen from 1912 to 1914 and entered the municipal higher girls 'school at St.-Anna-Platz in 1914, transferred to the municipal girls' high school in Luisenstrasse in 1917 , where she passed the matriculation examination in its humanistic department in 1923.
From the summer semester of 1923 to the winter semester of 1926/27, she studied one semester of law , seven semesters of classical philology , German language and history at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich and passed the first teaching examination in March 1927, while the second followed a year later. Gutmann moved to Frankenthal on April 25, 1928 and taught at the Karolinenschule in Frankenthal from April 1928 to March 1932.
On October 1, 1928, she applied for admission to the Examen rigorosum and submitted her dissertation . The examen rigorosum was held on December 21, 1928, with the major and the 1st minor being graded " Magna cum laude " and the 2nd minor with " Cum laude ". Her dissertation received the grade Magna cum laude, which was also determined as the overall result.
As a student councilor , she had already been dismissed in April 1933 because of her Jewish origins . From August 1938, she had to use the Second Ordinance for the Implementation of the Act on the Change of Family Names and First Names as an additional middle name "Sara". Until July 1, 1942 Gutmann worked as a teacher at the Reich Association of Jews in Germany .
From December 15, 1942, Margit Gutmann lived illegally in the underground in Berlin . Her apartment was vacated on May 29, 1943. Although Margit Gutmann was in hiding, she submitted her declaration of assets to the tax office on August 31, 1943. It is not known what caused them to do so. This found out where she was staying, and on September 7, 1943, on behalf of the Secret State Police in Berlin, the court bailiff had the property confiscated in favor of the German Reich .
On September 10, 1943, Gutmann was deported on the 42nd transport to Auschwitz , where she also arrived. Since then there has been no more sign of life from her, which is why she is considered "lost". Her parents died in the Theresienstadt ghetto ; the father on August 17, 1942 and the mother on January 25, 1943.
The students of the Karolinengymnasium Frankenthal set a stumbling block for Margit Gutmann on the sidewalk at the corner of Johannes-Mehring-Straße / Karolinenstraße on November 7th, 2013, where the former Karolinenschule in Frankenthal was, where she had taught.
