Nora Rosa Kapellner

Nora Kapellner was born in Monsheim/Hesse on 6 September 1922, the daughter of the merchant Heinrich Kapellner (1889-1936) and his wife Flora (1886-1942). A short time later, the family moved to Postdam/Brandenburg.

Her parents founded the "Kapellner Children's Home" at Große Weinmeisterstraße 26/27 in Potsdam in 1934 and advertised it in various newspapers.
After her father's death in 1936, her children's home changed its name to Herrmannstraße 11 (now 11a) in Zehlendorf, but it is not known why.

In addition to the Kapellner family and Flora's sister, Alice Goldschmidt (1890-1943), at least 40 children and young people lived in this home between 1936 and 1942, many of whom were murdered in the Holocaust, including Nora.
She was deported to Auschwitz on 29 January 1943 together with her aunt, Alice Goldschmidt, on the "27th Eastern Transport" and murdered there on 27 February 1943.
