Residence of the Oronowicz family

This is where the Oronowicz family lived from 1921 to 1942. Between 1942 and 1944, the Jewish residents of Altenburg who remained until then were deported: on May 10, 1942, 17 people to the Bezlyce (Poland) ghetto; in the same year, 41 more people (all 58 were murdered); in 1943 and 1944, eleven people to the Auschwitz concentration camp and five to the Theresienstadt ghetto. "Of the Oronowicz family, only father Markus and daughter Charlotte survived. The other family members are dedicated "Stolpersteine" in front of the house," writes Christian Repkewitz.
