Chaim Reder * 1877
Hammer Landstraße 138 (Hamburg-Mitte, Hamm)
1941 Lodz
ermordet 27.05.1942
Chaim Reder, b. 12.26.1877, deported to Lodz on 10.25.1941
Southwest corner of Kreuzung Hammer Landstraße/Diagonalstraße (Hammer Landstraße 138)
Chaim Reder’s parents, Mechil Reder und Chama, née Altschüler, came from Galicia, where he was born on 12.26.1877. At the beginning of the twentieth century, he came to Hamburg, whether already married to Breine, née Kligler, b. 10.8.1883 in Probuzna, or whether they married there, is not known. Their three children were born in Hamburg: Anni, 8.8.1906, Rosi, 12.8.1907, and Adolf, 10.4.1912; the family lived on Hammer Deich street. Chaim Reder joined the German Israelite Congregation in Hamburg on 11 February 1920, with an added German name, Carl, and with businessman as his occupation; Breine became Berta.
Until 1932, the family disposed of a middling income from Chaim Reder’s work in the egg and delicatessen business at Peter-Marquard-Strasse 3 and, since 1925, from his own shop on Himmelstrasse 35. His son Adolf attended the Talmud-Torah school, completed his training in the wholesale grocery trade, and in 1932 took over his father’s shop, apparently supporting the family. In 1935 and 1936, they lived at Hammer Landstrasse 138, to which they had moved from Grevenweg 133. The shop closed in 1934. In preparing for emigration through the Hechalutz movement, Adolf took an agricultural training course in Denmark, however, he returned to Hamburg in 1936 where he worked as a packer and delivery man in the wholesale egg export trade until the end of November. He traveled to South America and sounded out the possibilities for a legal stay. Rosi Reder had apparently always worked in the family business; she emigrated to Palestine in 1935.
Berta and Chaim Reder separated. Berta emigrated in 1938 to Argentinian, where her son Adolf followed in 1939. Anni has left no trace. Why Chaim did not also emigrate is unknown. He worked for a time as an egg packer and became totally impoverished, to the point where he received winter welfare in 1940. After a move to Rothenbaumchaussee 101/103, he was quartered by the Jewish Community in the "Jew house” at Rutschbahn 15. He received his deportation order there, reaching Lodz on 25 October 1941. On 14 December 1941, he was lodged in the ghetto on Rubenstrasse 2/39: two rooms for 13 people. He moved into the tenth block, that is, Rauchgasse, where he died on 27 May 1942.
