Mosler, Helene

Helene Mosler was born on November 7, 1884, the second and last daughter of the Jewish cloth merchant Eduard Mosler in Hirschberg im Riesengebirge, Am Markt 38 or Warmbrunnerstraße 20, and his wife Cäcilie. Her older sister Else Elisabeth, born on June 24, 1875, married her cousin, the physician Dr. Siegfried Freund, in 1894 and moved with him to Berlin. Helene Mosler became a nurse and after World War I moved with her parents to Sponholzstrasse 53-54 in Berlin-Friedenau, where she remained even after her parents died. In 1938, her sister and brother-in-law fled to Italy, before which they asked Helene Mosler to move to Fregestraße 58 to take care of the house, pay the Jewish property tax for them, and take care of other obligations. Helene Mosler lived at Fregestraße 58 until spring 1942, when she was forced to move into a furnished room at Stübbenstraße 3 as a subtenant. There she died of an overdose of sleeping pills on March 4, 1943. She was buried on March 15, 1943 at the Jewish Cemetery Weißensee.
