Biographies
In a project group led by Sibylle Vonnoe, pupils from the Städtische Berufsoberschule für Soziales und Gesundheit Nürnberg familiarised themselves with the lives of Else and Siegfried Blumenthal, who were deported to Izbica and murdered. At the end of the project, the pupils had two stumbling stones laid for them.
Else Blumenthal was born on 20 September 1894 and her brother Siegfried on 16 November 1899. Their parents were the trader Adolf Blumenthal (2 February 1857 – 23 July 1928) and his wife Hannchen (18 July 1869 - 1 March 1919). Hannchen (née Ansbacher) gave birth to both her children in Nuremberg.
From November 1904 onwards the family lived at Brunnengasse 20. Siegfried, like his father, earned his living as a trader. Else worked as an accountant. Both remained single and had no children.
For many years Else and Siegfried tried to emigrate to the USA but were never granted a visa. On 24 March 1942 they were deported to the Izbica ghetto and murdered.
