Jacqueline Morgenstern
Jacqueline Morgenstern was born on May 26, 1932.
She came from Paris and went to the Jewish school in Belleville.
Jacqueline only lived to be twelve years old.
Jacqueline Morgenstern was the daughter of a hairdresser on Place de la République in Paris, Charles Morgenstern.
The family came from Czernowitz in Bukovina, Romania, and migrated to France after World War I.
When the German Wehrmacht occupied Paris, the Morgenstern brothers had to hand over their business to a non-Jew in 1941.
Charles fled to Marseille, followed by his wife and Jacqueline.
When the Germans invaded Marseille looking for Jews, the Morgensterns were betrayed and arrested by the French police.
Jacqueline’s mother died in Auschwitz.
Her father was sent to Dachau in January 1945 in an open freight wagon, lived to see the liberation, and died in May 1945.
Henri Morgenstern, Jacqueline's cousin, came to the memorial service for the victims of the Bullenhuser Damm murders on April 20, 1979.
Together with Philippe Kohn, the brother of Georges-André Kohn, he was a founding member of the Children of Bullenhuser Damm Association and was involved in the prosecution of the perpetrators.
The street Jacqueline-Morgenstern-Weg in Hamburg-Burgwedel is named after Jaqueline.
