A Jewish children's home was located in two apartments at Sasaustraße / Sázavská 830/5, probably from the end of 1939 to the end of 1941. The apartments originally belonged to Rabbi Gustav Sicher and Cantor Šaja Suda. Both left the protectorate in 1939. After the synagogue and the surrounding buildings were taken over by the Treuhandstelle zur Verwaltung und Verwertung des Eigentums von deportierten oder vertriebenen Juden, the children's home was relocated to Spánelá ulice.

The house Na Bojišti 1516/16, which belonged to the Simon von Lämml Foundation, housed an institution that accommodated poor Jews.

<p>Franziska Bruck was a school founder, author and entrepreneur and was born in Ratibor in 1866. She made art with flowers.</p><p>Often it was just a branch in a narrow vase that developed a tremendous life of its own: idiosyncratic, lively, powerful and beautiful. Franziska Bruck refrained from opulent, colorful strands with specially selected flowers. Her bouquets were not constricting, but tried to do justice to the natural beauty of each plant.

Franziska Bruck was a floral artist and revolutionized the craft of flower arranging in Germany. In 1912, she founded a school for flower arranging at Potsdamer Straße 31A in Berlin under the name: Franziska Bruck. School for Floral Decoration. Her courses were aimed at  "professional dressmakers, gardeners, teachers at technical and girls' schools, artists and women working in the home" (from an information brochure). Her floral art was highly praised in various magazines on art and handicrafts (Deutsche Kunst und Dekoration, Berliner Leben and Dekorative Kunst).
