97 Zwangseingewiesene Personen

When the Nazi authorities started to confiscate Jewish property and forced the former owners into collective housing after the beginning of World War 2, people from various towns and cities were forced to relocate to Laupheim between 1939 and 1942. They were moved to the Wendelinsgrube barracks or the former residence of the rabbi only to be deported to the concentration camps in Eastern Europe later on. To also commemorate these victims of the genocide, of whom we do not have additional information, the book displays their names in tabular form. Victims who had relatives in Laupheim are mentioned in the family chapters.

The Weil family from Ulm in collective housing in the former rabbinate in 1940. From left: Elsa, Edith, Isidor. Elsa Weil was in charge of managing the house. Therefore she is mentioned several times in Lina Wertheimer’s letters: “Mrs. Weil is doing her best in making it cozy place for us”. (May 15, 1940). “Mrs. Weil really cares for all of us in her role as a housemother". (May 16 1941). We are now 28 people in the home… they are setting up beds below in the hall and most of the rooms are occupied with three people. There is more and more work to do, which is a big challenge for Mrs. Weil”. (October 29, 1941)
