life: |
Georg Alexander was born in Berlin in 1906, the son of Wilhelm Alexander (1877-1938), a plumber, and Gertrud (Trude) Alexander (1881-1940). He attended the Werner Siemens middle school up to 9th grade and began a two-and-a-half-year banking apprenticeship at Deutsche Bank in Berlin in April 1923. After completing his apprenticeship, he worked for Deutsche Bank in a Berlin subbranch, the Central Transfers department and the Bills of Exchange department from 1925 to 1929. Deutsche Bank described him as an "extremely capable, conscientious worker who combines a quick grasp of things with brisk activity". In May 1929, Georg Alexander went to the Frankfurt am Main branch of Deutsche Bank as an "exchange employee" for a little over a year. He then returned to the Berlin head office, where he was dismissed at the end of 1936 because of his Jewish ancestry. Sources on his last years at the bank have not survived, nothing is it known about any subsequent activity. |

Wilhelm Assenheim completed an apprenticeship as well as his first professional years in the Jewish banking house Siegmund Merzbach in his hometown Offenbach. He then moved to the Baruch Bonn bank in neighbouring Frankfurt. In 1908 Assenheim joined Pfälzische Bank’s branch in Frankfurt, which Deutsche Bank took over in 1922, as an attorney. Shortly after marking his 25th year of service (the time at the previous institute was always taken into account), Assenheim was compulsorily retired due to his Jewish origins. Assenheim held a power of attorney for the account of his former line manager, Eduard Rothschild, who was also Jewish. After Rothschild’s emigration, Assenheim was able to use this to transfer monthly support payments from a special account to Rothschild’s relatives who remained in Germany. In October 1941 Wilhelm Assenheim was deported to the Litzmannstadt ghetto. From there he asked Deutsche Bank to continue paying his pension. However, in accordance with National Socialist legislation, this had already been stopped at the moment of his deportation. |

After several positions in regional Hessian banks, Bodenheimer joined the Darmstadt branch of the Disconto-Gesellschaft in 1922 as deputy director. In 1927 he moved to the Giessen branch as director. He kept this position after the merger of Disconto-Gesellschaft with Deutsche Bank. In 1931 Bodenheimer left the bank at his own request to take up a director post at the Frankfurt branch of the auditing company “Deutsche Treuhand AG für Warenverkehr”. Married to Rosi Bender, the daughter of a stockbroker, in 1923, Fritz Bodenheimer immigrated to the United States with his family, presumably in 1938. |

life: |
The son of the merchant Leopold Cohn attended the Philanthropin in Frankfurt am Main. After completing his secondary education, he began a banking apprenticeship at the Frankfurt branch of Deutsche Bank in 1924. On 1 October 1926, he was taken on as an employee. He first worked in various positions in the department for private clients and from April 1934 in the securities department. At the end of 1936, he was offered by Deutsche Bank to join the private bank Heinrich Cahn & Co. in exchange for one of their employees. Cohn's Jewish descent played a decisive role in this. He switched to the "Jewish" bank, which in return gave a non-Jewish employee to Deutsche Bank. Cohn received three months' salary as severance pay. In the course of 1938, when it became clear that Cahn & Co. would have to cease business activities, Cohn planned to emigrate, but this did not happen. After the Pogrom Night, he was deported to the Buchenwald concentration camp on 12 November 1938 and released from there on 5 May 1939. He returned to Frankfurt, where he lived in a household with his mother Selma Cohn. He found employment with the Frankfurt Jewish Community. Fritz Cohn and his mother Selma Cohn were taken on a deportation train to the ghetto (and later concentration camp) in the Lithuanian city of Kaunas on 22 November 1941, together with almost 1,000 Jewish citizens of Frankfurt. The transport reached its destination on 25 November 1941. Fritz and Selma Cohn were murdered on the same day. |

life: |
Immediately after graduating from high school in Nordhausen, Ernst Eisner began a apprenticeship at Mitteldeutsche Creditbank in Berlin in April 1913, which he completed in 1915, subsequently working for the bank as an accountant, cashier and head of a deposit office. In 1921 he moved as manager of Mitteldeutsche Creditbank branch to Munich, returning to the bank's Berlin headquarters in 1925 as director and co-manager of the stock exchange department. After Mitteldeutsche Creditbank was merged into Commerz- und Privatbank in 1928, he worked there last as head of the exchange and discount department. On 1 June 1932 Eisner joined Deutsche Bank und Disconto-Gesellschaft to become co-head of the stock exchange department. At the beginning of November 1937 he was informed by the bank's Managing Board that he would soon have to expect to leave the bank because of his Jewish descent. On 13 April 1938, Rudolf Lencer, head of the Nazi work cell Banks and Insurances of the German Labour Front, complained to the bank's personnel manager Karl Ritter von Halt that Eisner was still employed by the bank and threatened, if he was not dismissed soon, to give the case to the press. On 19 June 1938 Ernst Eisner was suspended and on 1 July 1939 he retired. By the latter date, he had already emigrated to Uruguay. He died in Montevideo in 1951. |

He kept this position after the merger of the Disconto-Gesellschaft with Deutsche Bank until his forced retirement in 1938. Since it was common at that time for the manager of a branch to live in the bank building, he had to give up his official residence at the moment of his dismissal. At the end of November 1941 he was deported to Riga with his wife Henriette. Presumably both were murdered there immediately after their arrival. | ||||

life: |
The second-born son of the cattle trader and farmer Rafael Fröhlich (1843-1925) and his wife Rosa née Stern (1859-1909) first attended the Durlach primary schools, from 1890 the Progymnasium and finally the Humanistische Gymnasium Karlsruhe, where he passed the university entrance examination in 1899. After studying in Heidelberg, Berlin and Freiburg, Salomon Fröhlich began a two-year apprenticeship at the Freiburg branch of the Bank für Handel und Industrie in 1912 and subsequently worked for the private bank Macaire & Cie. in Constance until 1921. This activity was interrupted by military service from 1915 to 1916. In 1921 Macaire & Cie. was taken over by the Süddeutsche Disconto-Gesellschaft and transformed into its Constance branch. At the same time, Fröhlich was promoted to deputy director of the new Constance branch of Süddeutsche Disconto-Gesellschaft. After he had been appointed director at the beginning of 1927, the merger of Deutsche Bank with Süddeutsche Disconto-Gesellschaft in 1929 led to Fröhlich being reassigned to his previous rank as deputy director of the Constance branch of Deutsche Bank und Disconto-Gesellschaft. In March 1934, Salomon Fröhlich suffered a severe stroke, which led to his half-side paralysis and inability to work. He retired at the beginning of 1935 and moved back to his native town of Durlach. His younger, unmarried sister Frieda Fröhlich (1888-1942) took care of him. While most of the Baden Jews, including his eldest brother Ferdinand Fröhlich (1879-1941), were deported to the Gurs camp in France on 22 October 1940, Salomon Fröhlich's permanent paralysis prevented his transport. The sister caring for him was also able to stay in Durlach at first. On 26 April 1942, however, Frieda Fröhlich was transported via Stuttgart to Izbica in Poland, from where she was most likely sent to one of the extermination camps Belzec or Sobibór and murdered there. On 23 April 1942, three days before her deportation, Karl Eisemann, the then head of the Baden-Pfalz district office of the Reich Association of Jews in Germany, had visited Salomon Fröhlich in his flat in Turmbergstraße in Durlach to discuss accommodation in a Jewish old people's home in Mannheim with him, as his "sister who was caring for him was scheduled for deportation". He was hoisted onto a truck bed with his wheelchair and taken to Mannheim to the Israelite Hospital, where he died three months later on 25 July 1942 at the age of 61. |

life: |
Max Frohnhausen was born in Halberstadt, near Magdeburg, on December 18, 1881. He moved to Berlin as a young man and became a bank employee at Disconto-Gesellschaft, which merged with Deutsche Bank in 1929. He retired on October 1, 1933. His pension payments were stopped on December 1, 1941, and his assets were confiscated by the Berlin Chief Finance President on Dec. 12, 1941, in favor of the Reich. On October 15, 1912, he had married Frieda Frohnhausen and moved with her to Meininger Straße 4. His wife had been born Frieda Kuschner on October 10, 1885 in Bublitz, Pomerania, in what is now Poland, and had moved to Berlin as a young woman to study singing. While still a student, she was permanently employed by the Jewish Community as a chorister. Until the November pogroms in 1938, she sang in the choir of the liberal Fasanenstrasse Synagogue under the conductor Theodor Schönberger. On October 18, 1941, 56-year-old Frieda Frohnhausen and 59-year-old Max Frohnhausen were deported to Litzmannstadt. There were 1251 Berlin Jews on the deportation train, including the well-known bookseller Benedict Lachmann. On May 8, 1942, Max and Frieda Frohnhausen were deported to the Kulmhof extermination camp and murdered there. |
