ermordet
Mindel Saalfeld, born on 6 Apr. 1892, deported on 25 Oct. 1941 to Lodz, deported on 4 May 1942 to Chelmno
Carl-Petersen-Strasse 29 (Mittelstrasse 29)
Mindel or Minna Saalfeld, as she called herself, joined the Hamburg Jewish Community on 30 Apr. 1937. She worked as a domestic help for a minimum wage, for instance, in Oct. 1939, for 45 RM (reichsmark), though sometimes only in return for room and board. She changed her employer several times and with the employer, her residential address. Since 1939 at the latest, she lived at Carl-Petersen-Strasse 29 with Haas.
From there, she was deported, on the first transport "toward the Development in the East” ("zum Aufbau im Osten") to Lodz in the "Reichsgau Wartheland” (Warthegau) on 25 Oct. 1941. In the ghetto, she was quartered at Hausiererstrasse 6/3, working as a seamstress in one of the workshops. On 4 May 1942, when the killing of Jews from the Lodz Ghetto in the Chelmno extermination camp was resumed after a one-month break, Mindel Saalfeld was among their number. In the address list of the ghetto administration, her name is crossed out, and the "remarks” section reads, "Resettlement [Aussiedlung] on 4 May 1942.”
