Emanuel and Luise Merklinger
Emanuel Merklinger (1880 -1942?) and Luise Merklinger née Frank (1877 - 1942?) came with their neighbours Salomon Frank (1874 - 1976) and his wife Babette née Wertheimer (1882 - 1942?). They moved to Steinsfurt on September 5, 1939, right after the beginning of WWII.
Both couples moved back to Bodenweier on October, 1940. Only a week later they were transported to Gurs and later to Auschwitz. We remember the victims of the Shoah on our memorial page.
