About Isaak Eichengrün

Überfallen und gefährlich verletzt (Stolpensteine)
Isaak Eichengrün runs a livestock business together with his brother in Fröndenberg. With his first wife Meta, who runs a clothing store, he has three children: Adolf, Ludwig and Ilse. After Meta's death, Isaak meets Martha, marries her and has little Mirjam with her.
Even before the Nazis seize power, Isaak's son Adolf dies in an accident. In the years that followed, the family felt more and more that they were unwanted. Because it becomes increasingly unsafe for Jews in Germany, the couple tries to emigrate their children to Palestine. Ilse and her half-sister Mirjam succeed in emigrating, but Ludwig does not. He dies in Upper Silesia in 1939 after being arrested in November 1938 and deported to the Sachsenhausen concentration camp. The cause of his death is not known.
On Pogrom Night, the Eichengrüns' store and apartment are raided and looted, Isaak is dangerously injured and locked up in a prison in Dortmund. Two years later he dies. The official version says that he died during a back operation in Düsseldorf. However, he probably died from the late effects of his injury. Isaac's wife Martha is murdered in a death camp two years later.
