The family of the merchant Karl Nachmann fortunately survived the Holocaust completely. Karl was a soldier in the First World War. We have some pictures of him and his children. After two daughters had already fled to France and the USA in 1933 and 1935, the couple Karl and Else Nachmann were able to flee to Palestine with the younger three daughters in 1937.

Josef Mayer (* 1865), who lived with his wife Cäcilie née Rothschild (* 1866) in the house Murgtalstraße 5 (today Josefstraße) until 1940, loved his hometown Rastatt.  He ran a tobacco store in his home. The amateur poet has memorialized Rastatt in many poems. He was active in several associations, among other things also as president of the GroKaGe Rastatt, which finances the stumbling block, which is laid before the house, out of solidarity to the former active one. However, the Mayerseppl, as he was called, was not helped by his love for his hometown.
