Simon family apartment

Ludwig Simon (1880-1962) married in 1922 in Berlin- Charlottenburg Mrs. Martha Elkan (1900-1994). Together with their son Herbert Simon, born in 1926, they lived from about 1926/27 until March 26, 1939 at what was then Dernburgstraße 46; from 1936 the address was Gustloffstraße 15 (renamed after the National Socialist Wilhelm Gustloff). On November 11, 1938, shortly after the Reich Pogrom Night, Ludwig Simon was arrested and deported to the Sachsenhausen concentration camp. He was released on December 13, 1938, on condition that he leave the country with his wife and son as soon as possible possible. On March 26, 1939, the Simon family emigrated to Santiago de Chile. They took the nameplate with them as a souvenir.
