Ernst Zöbisch had lived in Munich since 1917. He was married and had one child. In August 1942, the police arrested him for ‘continued jugglery’. In November 1942, the Gestapo sent him to the Dachau concentration camp. In 1944, the SS deported the seriously ill and weakened Ernst Zöbisch to the Majdanek concentration and extermination camp, where he was murdered on 13 March 1944.
