As part of the project ‘Jewish Life in Ohmstraße,’ five additional Memorial Signs were installed in Ohmstraße on Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Munich merchant Fritz Rothschild and his wife Eugenie lived at Ohmstraße 17 from 1925 onwards. Their two children, Ada Gabriele and Immanuel, were also born there. Fritz Rothschild ran a real estate, mortgage, loan, and financing agency, as well as a commission agency for decorative items. The business was deregistered in 1938, after which the family had to sell their furnishings to keep their heads above water.
Ada Gabriele Rothschild was a pupil at the Städt. Lyzeums am St.-Anna-Platz. She moved to Stuttgart in 1940, where she worked as a secretary for the Jewish Emigration Office for Württemberg and Hohenzollern until 1941. Her younger brother Immanuel Rothschild attended the Ludwigs-Gymnasium in Munich. All efforts to emigrate by the Rothschild family were in vain. On 20 November 1941, the Gestapo deported Fritz and Eugenie Rothschild together with their son Immanuel from Munich to Kaunas, where they were murdered on 25 November 1941. On 26 April 1942, their daughter Ada Rothschild was deported from Stuttgart to Izbica and murdered there.
After the death of his wife Tilly Lang, Siegfried Mathias moved from Nuremberg to Munich to live with his daughter Else Mamroth at Ohmstraße 20. On 28 January 1939, he committed suicide by taking an overdose of pills (motive according to police records: ‘impoverishment’). He was admitted to the Israelite Hospital, where he died shortly afterwards. His daughter Else managed to emigrate to America in August 1940. However, his sons Karl and Georg were both murdered in the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp.
