Josef and Elisabeth Cahn lived with their children, Gertrud and Fritz, at Mariannenstraße 2, where they also had a tobacco shop. After Josef Cahn was imprisoned for three months at the Sachsenhausen concentration camp in 1938, he was forced to leave Germany. He emigrated to Hungary. In 1941, Josef Cahn was arrested in Budapest, deported from there, and murdered at an unknown location.
His wife Elisabeth remained in Munich with the children. Their daughter Gertrud Cahn had already been forced to abandon her schooling in 1935 due to anti-Semitic persecution. From 1939 she worked at the Israelite Hospital, caring for Jewish patients who were denied admission to public hospitals since 1936. On August 9, 1940, Gertrud Cahn gave birth to her daughter Judis. Shortly after, the family was evicted from their apartment on Mariannenstraße. In November 1941, the Gestapo deported Elisabeth, Gertrud, and Judis Cahn, who was just 14 months old, to Kaunas, where they were murdered shortly after their arrival.
Their son Fritz Cahn had managed to flee Germany in 1939 and was the only member of the family to survive.
Kurt Zacharias Wertheimer, from Freiburg im Breisgau, had lived in Munich since the 1920s, where he ran a textile agency. In 1934, he married his non-Jewish wife, Maria Hiltl. In June 1938, Kurt Zacharias Wertheimer was arrested and imprisoned at the Sachsenhausen concentration camp. From there, he was first transferred to the Dachau concentration camp, then to the Buchenwald concentration camp. In October 1942, the Gestapo deported him to Auschwitz, where Kurt Zacharias Wertheimer was murdered on 22 December 1942.
