Adolf Isaak Joseph was born on January 2, 1874 in Schermeisel, Oststernberg district, Mark Brandenburg. He was a gardener by trade and frequently changed his place of residence. He probably did not have a regular job. In 1931 he came to Celle and lived in the "Herberge zur Heimat", Bergstraß 42. From 1933 he lived in the municipal care home at Harburger Strasse 70. In 1940, he was instructed by the city to carry coal to the apartment of the Jewish couple Iwan and Lydia Dawosky (Breite Straße 19) because they were no longer able to do so themselves.

The Mondorf cemetery was established in 1883 and used until 1940. It is surrounded by a high wall and secured with a steel gate. Around 80 stones are still in place.

The soap boiler Isaack Levy Enoch (born 1801) practiced his trade in the Blumlage (Altenceller Vorstadt) in house no. 11. He died in 1856 and his grave is located in the Jewish cemetery in the Hehlentor district (Am Berge/Hügelstraße).

Lydia Dawosky – Breite Straße 19

At Bergstrasse 10 lived the Jewish couple Adolf (born 23. 10.1896) and Elsa Kohls (née Cahn, 19.11.1894) lived with their daughters Edith (b. 20.04.1920) and Lieselotte (b. 18.01.1922), as well as Elsa's mother, Rosa Cahn (b. 1862).

Isaak and Rebekka Feingersch (born 1885 and 1887) emigrated from Odessa to Frankfurt am Main with their daughter Marie in 1912. Their son David was born there. At the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, the Jewish family was arrested because they were Russian citizens. In order to escape the difficult living conditions in the Holzminden camp, Isaak volunteered to work in the potash plant in Ovelgönne near Celle. The family was allowed to join him and grew to a total of seven sons and three daughters.

Eva Kauffmann, née von der Wall (born April 13, 1908 in Celle) was the daughter of Else and Julius von der Wall. Von der Wall ran a successful law firm at Mühlenstraße 25 and was the only Jewish lawyer admitted to the Celle Higher Regional Court.

Oskar Salomon was born on September 20, 1878 in Uelzen. He was married to Nanny (born May 1, 1881), née Schloß, from Gleicherwiesen in Thüringen. They had three children: Gerhard (born on December 10, 1907) and the twins Hans and Grete (born on May 14, 1909). The family lived at Westcellertorstrasse 1. In 1907, Oskar Salomon had taken over a shop for outerwear and shoes from his father, but eventually specialized in shoes. From 1929, the business was located at Poststrasse 7.

Businessman Julius Ems, married to Paula Rosenthal, opened a Central 50 pfennig bazaar at the end of 1895 at 52 Schuhstraße with haberdashery, gallantry, toys, household articles, glass and porcelain. However, the range was soon expanded to include more expensive items. His business concept, which included special promotions such as Christmas exhibitions, was so successful that he acquired the more centrally located shop at Am Markt 2 in 1904. The "Central-Bazar", which opened in October 1905, was praised by the local press and enjoyed a very good reputation in Celle.
