Albert Liebenthal was a travelling salesman, divorced and member of the Hamburg Jewish Community. On January 30th, 1939, he was imprisoned at the Fuhlsbüttel concentration camp for “racial defilement” at the instigation of the 23. Commissariat of the Criminal Police, and detained there in “protective custody” until February 6th. After that, he was kept in remand until July 8th, when he was released to join his mother in Dortmund. It is assumed that he later returned to Hamburg, as he was deported from here to Riga on December 6th, 1941 together with 752 other Jewish men, women and children from Hamburg. He his trace is lost in Riga. A Stumbling Stone for him lies at his last address in Heidenkampsweg.
