Greifswalder Straße 42 (Hamburg-Mitte, St. Georg)

Leopold Wallach was a member of the Hamburg Jewish Community. He lived in Hamburg. Until his arrest for unknown reasons in 1937 or 1938, he lived in St. Georg at Greifs walderstraße 42 as a subtenant with the widow W. Naroska.
He was initially sent to the Dachau concentration camp on February 12, 1938, but was listed as a prisoner under the category of "political Jew" in the Buchenwald concentration camp as early as September 22 of the same year, where he died on February 17, 1940.
