Rosenbaum department store

Fritz Rosenbaum, born on September 4, 1893 in Soest was a nephew of Sabine Rosenbaum, who was co-owner of the Rosenbaum department store at Brüderstraße 30. Due to the denunciation of an employee on the occasion of a derogatory remark about a swastika flag and a bawling SA troop, Sabine Rosenbaum was driven through the streets of Soest in mid-March 1934 with a sign hung around her, "I am an old Jewish woman and have insulted Adolf Hitler's flag." Sabine Rosenbaum died on February 25, 1942 in the St. Ida Hospital in Hovestadt. Fritz Rosenbaum still managed to emigrate to Brazil in time.
