Bertha and Gustav Heinemann, both natives of Hamburg, lived on Isestrasse since 1936. Gustav Heinemann was a merchant by trade. He was a member of the Jewish Community and belonged to the fraternal burial society (Beerdigungsbrüderschaft or chevrah kadisha). His involvement in social matters also manifested itself in the fact that he was appointed by the Hamburg District Court (Amtsgericht) as a caregiver for a coreligionist in an honorary capacity.
Bertha and Gustav Heinemann had one son, Erwin, born in 1921. He went to the Netherlands in order to receive agricultural training at the Kibboets Laag Keppel, a kibbutz, toward emigration to Palestine. He got married in 1942. According to information by his wife, who survived the Shoah, he was committed to the Arnhem (Arnheim) concentration camp, before being deported via the Westerbork camp to Sobibor, where he was murdered on 14 May 1943.

Any traces of his parents disappear after their transport to Minsk.
