Else Strauss
Else Strauss is a historical stop in Frankfurt, marked by a small brass Stolperstein set into the pavement. The memorial recalls a Jewish resident born in Offenbach in 1896. Her former address was Karl Flesch Straße 27, renamed Marienbader Straße in 1935. Later residences included Reuterweg 55 and Hermesweg 4.
She studied at a lyceum and commercial school, then worked in Frankfurt before joining Deutsche Bank’s exchange department in 1915. Multiple sclerosis forced her retirement in 1938. Her last residence was the Israelite community hospital on Gagernstraße 36. Deportation to Theresienstadt followed in 1942, and she died there in 1943. The brass plaque connects one Frankfurt address with the history of Holocaust persecution.
