Life and activity

Sally Jacobsohn's CV

Jacobsohn was a son of the businessman David Jacobsohn and his wife Minna. After attending elementary school and a higher boys' school in Schönlanke, he entered the upper tertia of the Gymnasium zu Deutsch Krone , which he left at Easter 1896 with the Abitur.

Jacobsohn then studied law for four semesters at the University of Berlin . In the winter semester of 1898/1899 he moved to the University of Breslau , where he completed his studies. His teachers included Dernburg, Eck, Alfred Pernice , Gierke, Brunner, Dambach, Hübler, Kohler, Oertmann, Paul Hinschius , Carl Crome , Burchard, Ludwig Aegidi , Gerhard Anschütz , Hugo Preuß , Gustav von Schmoller , Wagner and Paulsen (Berlin) as well as Fischer, Dahn, Siegfried Brie , Leonhard, Beltin, Heymann and Werner Sombart (Breslau).

On May 29, 1899, Jacobsohn passed the first state examination at the Royal Higher Regional Court in Breslau. He was then referred to the Royal District Court in Schloppe in West Prussia as a trainee lawyer. After nine months he moved to the Royal District Court in Lissa in Poznan to continue his legal preparatory service.

On May 15, 1900 (date of the thesis defense) at Jacob's son was at the University of Erlangen with a thesis on the right of withdrawal the creditor in mora debitoris to Dr. jur. PhD. Jacobsohn later settled down as a lawyer and notary in Glogau in Silesia , where he ran a law firm with the address Preußische Strasse 1/2.

Jacobsohn gained notoriety in the summer of 1934 when he was attacked and brutally mistreated by members of the SS in Glogau in the course of the Röhm affair : on the afternoon of that day an SS troop, including Hauptsturmführer Herbert Bischoff , broke into Jacobsohn's apartment in Glogau a. He was so mistreated with rubber truncheons that he had to be treated in a hospital. The background to the attack on Jacobsohn was that he had represented the wife of one of the SS men involved in divorce proceedings.

Since five other Jewish people were shot in Silesia at the same time, the incorrect news spread that Jacobsohn had also been murdered by the SS. Various foreign press reports named Jacobsohn as one of the people killed in the course of the purge. The communist white paper on the shootings of June 30th listed Jacobsohn as a victim of the action. In part, his survival was correctly highlighted in the foreign press: In the article "Pogroms in Schlesien am 30. Juni" of July 12, 1934 , the Pariser Tageblatt informed its readers, citing an article in the Basler National-Zeitung, that Jacobsohn had been beaten down with rubber truncheons in his apartment by two SS men on June 30th and was lying seriously ill.

In the course of the gradually worsening persecution and resettlement of Jewish people under the National Socialists, Jacobsohn's German citizenship was revoked by an announcement on January 2, 1941 (List 215). An announcement of April 23, 1942 resulted in the revocation of his doctorate.

Most recently, Jacobsohn lived in Berlin-Charlottenburg , Giesebrechtstrasse 16.

On August 17, 1942, Jacobsohn was deported from Berlin to the Theresienstadt ghetto . From there he was transferred to the Treblinka extermination camp, where he arrived on September 26, 1942 and, due to his age, was probably killed on the same day.

After the Second World War , Herbert Bischoff was sentenced to one year and five months in prison for his involvement in the June 1934 attack on Jacobsohn in a 1951 trial. In a subsequent process, Bischoff was sentenced to life in prison by the Kassel jury court in 1952 for the murder of the doctor Erich Lindemann on the same day as the attack on Jacobsohn .
