Max Salomon (born October 29, 1906 in Aachen ; died 1942 ) was a German football player . He came from a Jewish family in Aachen and was a victim of the Holocaust . With Alemannia Aachen he became district champion of the Rhineland in 1931 .
Life
Salomon played for Alemannia Aachen as a teenager. The tricky striker made it into the first team in 1924 at the age of 18. In 1931 he was at the side of Reinhold Munzenberg , the club's first national player, to the team that beat Rheydter SV in the finals for the championship of the Rhineland district .
In April 1933 he had to leave the club as a Jew. To avoid persecution by the Nazi authorities, he fled to the Netherlands, from where he moved to Belgium. But since he did not get a work permit there, he returned to Aachen. He was sentenced to five months in prison for “ racial disgrace ” . He then fled again to Belgium, from where he moved on to France.
In 1940 he was interned as a Jew by the German occupiers . In 1942 he was scheduled for deportation to the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp . His tracks were lost during the transport; it is believed that he died while working as a slave laborer in Upper Silesia .
In 2017, an exhibition about Alemannia Aachen during National Socialism also traced Salomon's life for the first time.
In memory of Max Salomon, a stumbling block was laid by the artist Gunter Demnig on February 6, 2019 at his last residence in Aachen . His brother Robert Salomon, also a soccer player at Alemannia Aachen, was also a victim of the Shoah.
