Photographs from the Estate of Isabel Wachenheimer

anonymous, 1934-08-07

The German Eugen Wachenheimer had a brilliant career at the Deutsche Bank and served as a naval officer in the First World War. In 1922 he married Else Moos. The Anti-Jewish laws instituted by the Nazi regime forced them to flee to the Netherlands in 1937. The photograph at the lower right is the last one taken of Eugen. He stands with his back to the camera behind his daughter. Eugen and Else were gassed at Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1944.
