The Jewish doctor Dr. Glaser (born 1889) worked as a civil servant in Stettin until 1933. He was forced to retire due to the "Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service" and moved to Ueckermünde. By the „Fourth Ordinance to the Reich Citizens Act“ of July 25, 1938, he and all other doctors of Jewish origin were stripped of their license to practice medicine. He was allowed to continue practising his profession under the title of „Krankenbehandler“, but only for the treatment of Jewish citizens.

Margarete Simon née Polajewer, widowed Ruschin, was born on January 1, 1892 in Skrzetusz (German Schrotthaus). She was widowed and married to Julius Simon, born on October 16, 1886 in Miłakowo (German Liebstadt).

The Jewish businesswoman Margarete Simon lived in Ueckerm&nuuml;nde until 1936. They then moved to Berlin with her second husband, from where they were deported on the 27th Berlin East Transport to the Auschwitz extermination camp on 29 January 1943 and murdered.

After the National Socialists seized power, the Ritterbrand family was humiliated, hounded, marginalized and harassed by the population. Their professional existence was destroyed. Some family members were allowed to emigrate to Palestine in 1936, but Norbert Ritterbrand managed to emigrate to the USA in 1941:

Norbert Ritterband (born 1904) Emigration 1941 USA

Emmy Ritterband (born 1906) Emigration 1936 Palästina

Julius Ritterband (born 1908) Emigration 1936 Palästina

August Senger was born on August 1, 1965 in Ueckerm&nuuml;nde. During the Reichspogromnacht in November 1938, August Senger was taken from his home and had to read from the Torah in the castle courtyard amid ridicule and mockery. On August 27, 1942, he was deported to the Theresienstadt ghetto and died there.

Käte Saenger was born in Stettin on December 22, 1913. Before she came to Celle, she lived in Einbeck. Her profession was shorthand typist and she worked in the office of the lawyer Dr. Julius von der Wall (Stolperstein Mühlenstraße 25) at Schwicheldtstraße 19 A from October 1, 1937. Like her employer, she was of Jewish faith, and this was probably also the reason for her employment in Celle, as Jewish employers were prohibited by law from employing non-Jewish staff. Von der Wall once ran a large law firm with his partner Manfred Herzfeld at Mühlenstra<e 25.

Henry Ruben (born 1873) was the son of the Hamburg merchant Philipp Jacob (later Ruben) and his wife Friedchen Adler. In 1890, Ruben began an apprenticeship at the Celle banking house David Daniel, a company founded and run by the Jewish Daniel family. In 1901, Henry Ruben married Grete Hammerschlag, the daughter of the fur trader Moses Hammerschlag, in Minden. In the same year, the bank was taken over by Hannoversche Bank as a Celle branch under the name "Hannoversche Bank vormals David Daniel".

Georg Wolff (born September 29, 1894 in Celle) came from the long-established Jewish merchant family Cussel on his mother's side. His father was the schoolmaster Max Wolff. He married Lilly Engers (born May 22, 1900). The couple had three children: Anne-Lise (b. 10.2.1928), Renate-Auguste (b. 19.10.1933) and Ellinor Esther (b. 9.9.1935). It is known that Anne-Lise and Renate Auguste had been living in England since January 1939, but the fate of Ellinor Esther is not known.

Anna (born 27.5.1855), Martha (born 7.7.1856) and Elise (30.7.1865) were the daughters of the merchant and banker Philipp Daniel and his wife Elise, née Meyer. They had a brother, Eugen (born 22.10.1858).

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.
