SOFIE (also Sophie) ROSENTHAL was born on July 25, 1888 as Sofie BLOCH in Eichstetten. She was married to JULIAN ROSENTHAL. Their son Ludwig was born on May 1, 1913.
In 1935, her son fled to Palestine with his girlfriend and later wife. There he called himself Uri Rosenthal and got married. In 1939, the couple had a son, Noga.
On October 22, 1940, SOFIE ROSENTHAL was arrested together with her husband and more than 350 Freiburg residents, taken to the Freiburg freight station and from there deported in 9 (or 11) trains to the Gurs concentration camp in southern France. From there, less than two years later, SOFIE ROSENTHAL was taken to the Drancy concentration camp. From Drancy, she was deported on August 10, 1942 with convoy no. 17 to the Auschwitz concentration camp. SOFIE ROSENTHAL was murdered in the gas chambers of Auschwitz-Birkenau at the age of 62.
Her son Uri Rosenthal died in Palestine in 1945 – before the liberation from Nazi terror – from undiagnosed appendicitis, not even 32 years old.
JULIAN and SOFIE ROSENTHAL’s grandson, Noga Rosenthal, visited the STOLPERSTEINE for his grandparents in 2006.
