Helene Rosenbaum, née Goldfarb, born on 23 Nov. 1861 (or 1860) in Hamburg, deported on 15 July 1942 to Theresienstadt, died there on 23 Nov. 1942

Helene Rosenbaum was the daughter of Abraham and Betty Goldfarb, née Cohn, and the widow of David Rosenbaum. This marriage had produced son Arthur, born on 14 June 1889. Registered as a member of the Hamburg Jewish Community as of 1914, Helene Rosenbaum worked in her husband’s wine store.

Starting in 1938, she lived in the retirement home of the Jewish Community at Sedanstrasse 23, which later served as a "Jews’ house” ("Judenhaus”). Together with 924 Jewish residents of Hamburg, Helene Rosenbaum was deported to Theresienstadt on the so-called "transport of old people” (Alterstransport) on 15 July 1942. She died there – as the Jewish physician certified – of enteritis at 6:30 a.m. on 23 Nov. 1942 – the day of her eighty-first (eighty-second, respectively) birthday.

We have no details about the subsequent fate of her son Arthur.
