Luwig Kunz * 1900 in Görlitz † 1976 Amsterdam [Germany] Publisher and writer

The Kunz family owned a textile factory in the center of Görlitz. Ludwig was destined to take over the business. But his interest was art and literature.

In many cities there was a „Judengasse“,. „Jüdenstraße“ or a „Jüdenring“, so also in Görlitz. 

Members of the Jewish community gathered to pray together in a room at 10 Nikolaistrasse

"In Görlitz there was a Jewish religious school, whose school rules obliged every child in the community to attend classes (boys after the age of 7 and girls after the age of 8). The main focus of the Jewish education was: Religion, Bible studies, Jewish history, prayer and Hebrew (writing and grammar). In the school year 1888/1889 there were 76 students learning at the Jewish school, in 1889/1890 65, in the year 1890/1891 53 and in 1892/1893 48 students were registered."

Hans Nathan, * December 2 1900 in Görlitz, † September 12 1971 in Berlin

The lawyers Albert Nathan, with son Dr. Hans Nathan and  the dentist Dr. Fritz Warschawski Postplatz belonged to the socially committed Görlitzers  The names of the dentist and the Nathans disappeared in 1933 from the bell plates of the houses on Postplatz. Fritz Warschawski had left Germany overnight with his family, the lawyer Hans Nathan emigrated with his family to Prague.

On Kunnerwitzer Stra;e, at the house number 17 will be laid at the end of the year another Stolpersteine.
In memory of Amanda Hannes (1861-1942). Amanda was the chairwoman of the women's auxiliary club of the jüdische Gemeinde. She had to leave her apartment and spent with other remaining Görlitzer Jews in the "Judenhaus" on Jakobstra;e until the deportation to Tormersdorf. 

Amanda was the chairwoman of the Women's Aid Society of the Jewish community, and her letters show us that this charity extended not only to Jewish women in Görlitz, but throughout Silesia.
