Unfortunately, there is no stumbling stone yet for
Amalie Frank (née Levite)
Theobaldstraße 16
Amalie was born on June 24, 1871, in Mönchsroth near Dinkelsbühl.
Her parents were the merchant Veis Levite and his wife Lena. In 1886, her father purchased a house in Dinkelsbühl at auction. Before the birth of her youngest sister Fanny in 1887, he had already purchased a house in Dinkelsbühl. Her parents were the merchant Veis Levite and his wife Lena. In 1886, her father purchased a house in Dinkelsbühl at auction. The family moved to Dinkelsbühl before the birth of her youngest sister Fanny in 1887. Her father died early, we do not know when, but before 1903. At that time, his widow still lived in the house with her children.
Amalie married the cattle dealer Moses Frank from Edelfingen in 1895. They had at least one child, a son named Julius, who was born on March 28, 1899, and was able to emigrate to the United States. In Hermann Fechenbach’s book “Die letzten Mergentheimer Juden” (The Last Jews of Mergentheim), Lydia Mansbach, née Kahn, recalls that Moses hid her father in a haystack during Kristallnacht, thus saving him from abuse by the SS*.
According to existing tax records, Moses also emigrated to the United States, but there is an index card in the Arolsen Nazi Victims Archive indicating that Moses died on April 8, 1941, although he was not buried in Unterbalbach.
It was probably only after this that Amalie – like the Bierigs – was resettled to Buttenhausen. Amalie was deported to the Theresienstadt ghetto on August 22, 1942, and then on to the Treblinka extermination camp on September 26, 1942, where she died.
*Presumably it was the SA.
