The parents of Jenny Bach and Emilie Rescher were the manufacturer Josef Haarburger and his wife Babette, née Fellheimer. Emilie and Jenny grew up with their siblings Fanny and Ludwig in Cannstadt.
Jenny (born on May 17,1866) married Joseph Bach in Stuttgart in 1888. Joseph died in 1913 at the age of fifty-four. They had a daughter, Regina, who was born one and a half years after the family moved to Munich (July 16, 1889). In 1922 Regina married the portrait painter Paul Joseph Stollreiter (January 17,1886-August 13,1973), who worked a lot abroad in the 1920s (mainly in Switzerland and the USA), but lived in Munich again in the 1930s.
In 1930 Jenny Bach moved to Schackstrasse 43 and after four forced moves (Ainmillerstrasse 35, Ohmstrasse 14, Hiltenspergerstrasse 35, Leopoldstrasse 102) on September 16, 1940 to Martiusstrasse 8. Here she stayed only three months, until December 10,1941. She probably lived in Martiusstrasse in a room that had been separated from Charlotte Perutz’s apartment. After another move to Hohenzollernstrasse 4, she was deported to Theresienstadt on July 11,1942 and murdered there.
Her sister Emilie (born November 3, 1861) married the businessman Otto Rescher in Stuttgart in 1880. Otto died there in 1929. They had four children, of whom only two reached adulthood.
Emilie’s son Hans Erwin, born in Stuttgart in 1890, was a lawyer. He emigrated to the United States in 1936 and managed to have his wife and son Nicholas follow him in 1938. Nicholas, born on July 15, 1928 in Hagen, was later a well-known US philosopher and prominent representative of the coherence theory of truth. He died on January 5, 2024 in Pittsburgh.
Emilie’s daughter Gertrude, born in Stuttgart in 1903, lived in Gersthofen since the end of the 1920s with her third husband, the physician Dr. Hermann Neusell. Emilie moved in with her in 1929 after the death Hermann Neusell. Gertrude divorced in 1937 and died by suicide in 1939.
On September 1, 1936, Emilie Rescher moved to Munich, to Ohmstrasse 9. After seven more forced moves, where Emilie had also lived for a time in the boarding house of Else Wolbach at Martiusstrasse 8 (November 5, 1936 to January 3,1937, September 5,1937 to October 19, 1937), the sisters arrived together at Lydia Goldschmidt’s house at Leopoldstrasse 102.
On September 15, 1940 Jenny and Emilie moved together to Martiusstrasse 8. They probably lived in a room on the 1st floor, separated from Charlotte Perutz’s apartment. Emilie died there on September 20,1941. Jenny was deported to Kaunas on November 20, 1941, and murdered there five days later.
Max Goldschmidt, businessman and tenant at Leopoldstrasse 102, with whose wife Lydia Jenny and Emilie lived for one and a half years starting from 1939, had been deported to Dachau during the Kristallnacht 1938 and died at the Dachau concentration camp on November 27,1938 because of the beatings he got there. Lydia Goldschmidt had to leave her apartment at Leopoldstrasse 102 in October 1940. Like Jenny Bach, she too was deported to Kaunas, on November 20, 1941, and murdered there five days later.
