Ernst Joseph Grossmann
Ernst Joseph Grossmann is remembered by a Stolperstein in Hamburg’s Winterhude district, at Andreasstraße 16. The brass plaque lies in the pavement at his former address. Born in Vienna on 1 December 1882, he was a Jewish businessman who lived in Hamburg for many years. His family included Marianne, Heinz Eugen, and Gert.
Under Nazi persecution, Ernst and his family were deported to the Łódź Ghetto, also called Litzmannstadt, on 25 October 1941. Chełmno became his final destination in 1942. He was deported there on 15 May and murdered, while his wife and sons shared the earlier deportation. The Stolpersteine project places small brass plaques before the last known homes of Holocaust victims. Each inscription carries a name, birth date, and fate, connecting one Hamburg address with a family torn from its home.
