Bruno Nathan, born on 17 July 1887, was a native of Rostock, his wife Lina of Diersburg/Baden. From at least 1925 until 1935, they belonged to the Hamburg Jewish Community and resided in Hamm. Bruno Nathan was employed as a precision mechanic earning a low income, which did not increase when he worked as an auctioneer later. The marriage remained childless. On 20 May 1935, Bruno Nathan and his wife Lina Nathan moved to Diersburg, where she had been born as Lina Kahn on 19 July 1894.

On 22 Oct. 1940, the Nathan couple was committed to the Gurs internment camp in the South of France. Thus, they were among the very first of 7,500 persons deported there primarily from Baden and the Palatinate after the capitulation of France. Lina Nathan was sent to Auschwitz on 11 Sept. 1942. Bruno Nathan belonged to the last inmates to leave Gurs on 17 Dec. 1943 with destination Auschwitz concentration camp.
