In the autumn of 1945, the British-Jewish aid organization Jewish Relief Unit (JRU) was looking for a convalescent home for boys and girls who had escaped the Nazi genocide. The choice fell on Lüneburg, as a small post-war Jewish community had already established itself there, which could be involved in the care of the children.

The neurologist and psychiatrist Dr. med. Nathan Albert Ransohoff was born in Nieheim, Westphalia, in 1872 and was the medical director of the Stephansfeld-Hördt asylum in Alsace from 1904 to 1919. After the First World War, he was expelled from Alsace in 1919 and came to Lüneburg in a roundabout way in 1921 together with his wife Hilma Ransohoff, née Bagge.

Hirsch Lengel was born in 1873 in the small Galician town of Dąbrowa, which at the time was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Around 1897, he married Bertha Lengel, née Lirt, who also came from Dąbrowa. At that time, there was a large Jewish community in the town, but it was very difficult for Jews to earn a living, and after the birth of their fourth child in 1903, the Lengel family decided to leave Dąbrowa.

Lotte Heinemann was born in Lüneburg in 1892 as the fourth child of Selma and Robert Heinemann and studied medicine.

In the mid-1920s, Dr. Lotte Heinemann settled in Lüneburg as a paediatrician in her parents' house at Schießgrabenstraße 10. She also worked as an assistant to the Lüneburg district physician and looked after the children at the Wilschenbruch convalescent home, among other things.

The Less family's manufactured goods business at Gro en Bäckerstra e 18 was affected by boycott campaigns; in 1941, the family fled into exile in the USA via the USSR   . All of their assets were confiscated by the Gestapo.

Born on 06.07.1885 in Obernkirchen, district of Rinteln, died on 10.05.1957 in London at the age of 72

Former residence of Dr. Emil Strauß at Lüner Weg 8 – a bomb attack was carried out here in 1929; the lawyer was considered a central target of anti-Jewish attacks due to his great influence within Lüneburg and the Jewish community and fled into exile to London in 1939.

His law practice was located at Kleine Bäckerstra&;e 6/7.

In 1906, the family Adolf and Hulda Schickler moved from Nienburg to Lüneburg. They took over the house at Bardowicker Straße 4 from Louis Rosenbaum, who had run a household goods store here. The Schicklers now set up a specialty store for shoes and men's clothing, which soon became a permanent fixture and a very popular place to shop in Lüneburg. The family lived above the store. All the children worked in the shop at times. In 1928, son Harry Schickler took over the business.

In the 1930s, Lüneburg's largest and most modern department store „Gubi“ was located at Markt 6. Henry Jacobson took over the lingerie and trousseau shop from his father and converted it into the small price store Gubi (good and cheap) in 1932. The department store offered all the everyday necessities: from clothing and stationery to food. At the time, it was very unusual for the goods to be displayed freely and for customers to be able to put together their own purchases using rulers. There was a snack bar on the second floor.
