Stumbling stone for Eleonore and Berta Frankfurter, Lina Mina Frankfurter, née Lindenberger

Berta Frankfurter was born on April 12, 1922 and her sister Eleonore a year later on June 6, 1923 in Offenbach. Their mother Lina Mina, née Lindenberger, came from Galicia, today's western Ukraine, where she was born on February 15, 1896.

Berta and Eleonore's father, Bernhard Frankfurter, came from Heusenstamm. He worked as a portefeuiller, later as a butcher. Frankfurter divorced, moved back to Heusenstamm and in 1925 married Anna Wirth, a non-Jewish woman who converted to the Jewish faith.

The Heusenstamm Stumbling Stone Initiative commemorates the fate of the Bernhard Frankfurter family in its book "They lived next door to us".

Lina Mina Frankfurter and her two daughters, aged 19 and 20, were on the deportation train from Darmstadt to Poland on September 30, 1942, together with probably 177 other Jews from Offenbach. Probably no one from this transport survived in Treblinka.
