Manufactory, white and woolen goods store Emma and Leo Deutsch

Even before her marriage, Emma Deutsch lived in Uelzen and ran a haberdashery shop at Lüneburger Straäe 10, which was incorporated into the business of the company ›Leo Deutsch‹ üafter the marriage.

The Deutsch family had three children: Alfred (1897–1914, killed in action in the First World War), Gertrud (*1899, presumed murdered in the Auschwitz extermination camp) and Norbert (1902–1974 in Haifa/lsrael).

The business with textiles and haberdashery flourished, so that Emma Deutsch's husband bought the house at Lüneburger Straße 17 in 1897 and opened a manufactory, white and woolen goods shop.

Leo Deutsch died in 1904 and Emma Deutsch continued to run the business until 1934, when she sold it to the Uelzen merchant Ludwig Zierath in September 1934.

After giving up the business, Mrs. Deutsch moved in with her daughter in Goslar. Even at this time, the first signs of mental confusion became apparent, which increased in the following years. After the deportation of her daughter and son-in-law, Emma Deutsch had to leave the apartment and moved into a "Jews' house" assigned to Jews in Goslar.

She was spared the impending deportation because a doctor she knew gave her an overdose of sleeping pills.

Emma Deutsch died on November 5, 1942.
