Johanna Lublin, née Fränkel, born 04/05/1874 in Zerkow/Poznán, deported to Lodz on 10/25/1941, date of death 04/25/1942
Irene Levy, née Lublin, born 10/15/1909 in Lissa, deported to Lodz on 10/25/1941, date of death 04/25/1942

Johanna Lublin and her daughter had lived together in a three-room apartment at Isestrasse 83 since 1935.

Johanna Lublin, daughter of Bernhard and Jeanette Fränkel, was widowed. Her husband had died in 1920, when the family still lived in Lissa in Saxony. In 1924, Johanna Lublin joined the Hamburg Jewish Community. She had no income of her own and was supported by her daughter, who worked as an office clerk. Before they moved to Isestrasse, mother and daughter had lived in Pappelallee.

In March, 1940, Irene Lublin married Ludwig M. Levy, born August 17th, 1906 in Hamburg. Ludwig Levy emigrated to the USA shortly after his marriage to Irene. Perhaps he wanted to have his wife join him.

But that did not succeed. Irene Levy was deported to Lodz on October 25th, 1941. Her address there is recorded as Rembrandt Strasse 3, her occupation as stenotypist.
The bailiff’s records tell us what happened to the two women’s possessions. On January 15th, 1942, the complete inventory of their household was removed and transported to the auctioning halls in the street called Drehbahn. "…after a number of persons eager to buy had arrived, they were informed: 1. That the objects to be auctioned were to be sold voluntarily…” The word "voluntarily” had been overwritten; the word written underneath was illegible. The possessions of Johanna Lublin and Irene Levy were sold to the "persons eager to buy” for a total of 829 RM, when mother and daughter were already living in the ghetto, starving and in distress, performing hard labor. They lost their lives there on April 25th, 1942.
