Biography
On 16 July 2020 James Schwartz had a stumbling stone laid for his great aunt Frieda Krämer. She was deported to Izbica and murdered there.
Frieda Krämer was born in Munich on 8 March 1885 in München. She had nine siblings. Her parents were Simon Krämer, a trader in meat and vegetables, and his wife Flora (née Dettelbacher).
When she was 21 years old, Frieda married Siegfried Fellheimer. Siegfried, born on 30 May 1880, came originally from Göppingen. His wife went to live with him in Stuttgart. Their daughter Franziska was born there in May 1908 but died a few days later.
When the couple divorced, Frieda resumed her maiden name and moved to Nuremberg on 3 February 1920, where she took over the leadership of the Israeli Institution for Girls.
This was a charitable foundation, established in 1903 by Max and Elise Heim and located initially in Adlerstrasse. In August 1906 it moved to the third and fourth floors of the house at Hochstrasse 2. The institution provided accommodation for girls and unmarried women who were undergoing vocational training or were already employed. More than 20 places were available. The Israeli Institution for Girls had to close in 1939.
On 24 March 1942 Frieda Krämer was deported to the Izbica ghetto and murdered.
