Sofie Potzernheim was born in Fürstenberg on May 4, 1889. In the address book of Berlin she appears for the first time in 1921. She earned her living as a saleswoman. Sofie Potzernheim stayed until shortly before her deportation at Berliner Straße 58. Her last address was today's Mehringdamm 86 in the district of Kreuzberg, at that time Belle-Alliance-Straße 30. On August 15, 1942 Sofie Potzernheim was deported to Riga. Probably Sofie Potzernheim was shot in the forest of Rumbula right after her arrival in the vicinity of Riga.

Dr. phil. Hugo Panofsky was born on July 10, 1860 in Gliwice (Upper Silesia) as the youngest of 10 children of the merchant Moritz Panofsky and his wife Johanna, née Schlesinger. He had worked as a professor at the Leibnitz Gymnasium in Berlin and was not married. As late as February 1942, he was still taking care of the graves of his mother and five of his siblings, as can be seen from a corresponding invoice.
