Stumbling block Martin Ephraim

Martin Ephraim was during his lifetime one of the biggest Mäzene of the city, city councilor and member of the Lower Silesian Chamber of Commerce Görlitz/Breslau. His life ended in Theresienstadt. In addition to the Villa Ephraim in Görlitz on Goethestra;e, the Kontorgebäude of the former iron trading company also commemorates the Ephraim family. The administration of the Ephraim Eisenhandelsgesellschaft was once located in the house at Zittauer Stra&szlig 64. A Stolperstein in memory of Martin Ephraim was accompanied in the presence of family members from Dresden, the USA and UK.

Among the first ten Stolpersteine that were laid in Görlitz in 2007 were the doctor Erich Oppenheimer and his wife, the veterinarian Eugen Bass, the painter Paul Boehm and his sister, and the textile dealers Betty and Sigmund Fischer. With the laying of three more Stolpersteine in honor and memory of Martin Ephraim and the couple Paul and Margarete Arnade, the number grows to a total of 14.
