Otto Jacobsohn, commemoration stone March 2021
Otto Jacobsohn
*13.03.1881 in Fulda
The Jacobsohn family lived at Buttermarkt 2 in Fulda. During the First World War Otto fought for his fatherland. He lived in Heidelberg since the 1920s and was deported from there to Gurs in France on October 22, 1940 as part of the Wagner-Bürckel-Action.
He was deported from the Drancy assembly camp on August 12, 1942 to Auschwitz, where he was murdered.
As student group, we would like to remember the murdered people in particular on their birthdays, starting in February 2021. With many victims we do not know when they were torn from life, but on a birthday we can think specifically of this one person and show him or her and the families that this person has not been forgotten.
For this reason we label a stone with the name and the birthday. Sometimes we’re even lucky enough to have a photo of the person so we can look into his and her eyes.
We do not forget you!
