Schachter, Max

Max Schächter was born on June 22, 1880 in Suczawa/Romania to a Jewish family. He was a merchant and lived with his wife Gertrud née Lewinsohn in Berlin, from 1930 to 1932 in Lankwitz at Scharzhofberger Platz, from 1933 in Tempelhof at Bacharacher Strasse 26. In 1938/1939 the couple moved to Wielandstrasse 5 on the first floor into a 5½-room apartment with hot water and central heating, bathroom, use of garden, balcony, cellar and floor as main tenants. The monthly rent was RM 147.00. From May 1939 they had to take in several Jewish subtenants. Eventually they occupied only 1 room of the 5½-room apartment. In February 1943, Max Schächter filled out the declaration of assets. At that time, he was doing forced labor at the Pertrix Works. He stated that he had no children. The furnishings were the property of his wife.
