Margot Alice Wolf (née Salomon) * 1893

Lenhartzstraße 5 (Hamburg-Nord, Eppendorf)

Flucht in den Tod Juli 1942

Margot Alice Wolf, née Salomon, born on 24 Apr. 1893 in Hamburg, probably died of suicide in July 1942

Lenhartzstrasse 5

Margot Alice Wolf was the daughter of the real estate agent for houses William Salomon and his wife Martha, née Benjamin. The couple was of the Jewish faith. Their apartment was located at Schulterblatt 78.

We do not know whether the parents had Margot baptized a Protestant or when Margot converted. At any rate, on 9 July 1919, she married, as a baptized Protestant, the Catholic real estate agent for houses Johann Peter Wolf, born on 1 Mar. 1894 in Gross Moyeuvre (administrative district of Diedenhofen). He was the son of the railroad secretary Peter Wolf, who died in the war, and his wife Catharina, née Heidinger, who lived in Metz.

The marriage did not last; the divorce took place on 24 Dec. 1924.

Margot Alice Wolf is listed on the house registration card as head of the household in the "Jews’ house” ("Judenhaus”) at Haynstrasse 7. The apartment was on the raised ground floor and comprised a total of four rooms. On 31 Mar. 1942, both a registration and a deregistration are noted. Before that, she lived at Haynstrasse 10 on the third floor. There is an "evacuated” entry noted in the house registration card file, which raises the suspicion that she may have committed suicide after receiving the deportation order.
