Hermann Freimann came to Nurenberg in 20.5.1897 . He married Betty Erlanger 17.7.1902 . Hermann and Betty first lived in Luitpold Strasse 14 in Nurenberg , later moved to a smaller appartment on Koenigstrasse 27 , over their shop.This was before the War. In 1941, letters from Palestine to Hermann and Betty Freimann were addressed to : Israelitisches Schwesternheim,Wielandstrasse 6,Nuernberg. This was their address still in Juli 1942. On the 10th of September 1942, all remaining Jewish inhabitants of Nurenberg (everyone over 65) were deported to Theresienstadt. Among them were also Hermann and Betty Freimann. A letter to the Freimanns dated January 1943 carries their new address: Judenrat Theresienstadt , Protektorat Bohmen-Maehren. This letter was answered in Betty's handwriting on 28.3.1943 . A letter from the Association of Jewish Refugees in Great Britain, dated 23.10.1944, reads:"your parents have been receiving parcels...they were even able to confirm one such parcel on the 14th May 1944.
