Department store - H. Bach

Hermann and Frieda Bach ran the department store H. Bach at Markt 31 in Mittweida until the death of Hermann Bach in 1925. After that  his wife Frieda Bach and son Herbert Bach continued to run the department store. When the National Socialists came to power in 1933, the Bach department store also suffered from the boycott calls and had to close in 1935.Herbert Bach continued to operate a small store after the closure. On November 9, 1937, Herbert Bach was killed in a fall from the 2nd floor of the stairwell into the courtyard of the district court. Frieda Bach was deported in 1942 and murdered in the Belzyce ghetto. The fate of Frieda and Herbert Bach is commemorated since 2008 by two Stolpersteine at Markt 31.
