Sabine Bachmann was born on April 26, 1860, in Fürth. Her parents´ surname was Model. Around 1880 Sabine married Samuel Bachmann, who worked as a merchant in Munich. Samuel Bachmann founded the company S. Bachmann – a cleaning goods store located at Rosenstrasse 11. She herself worked as a businesswoman in Munich, probably in their own store.
Samuel and Sabine had two children, Max and Nelly.
Max Bachmann was born August 18, 1883 in Munich. He was married to Rosa, a non-Jew, and survived the Shoah in Munich. Max died on June 5, 1966 in Munich.
Nelly Bachmann was born December 26, 1887 in Munich. She married Albert Kuhn, a merchant from Stuttgart, who was born there April 16, 1877. They had two children, Irene Kuhn, who was born in Munich May 23, 1911 and Lotte, about whom we have no data.
Nelly’s husband Albert was a partner in Samuel Bachmanns company. Albert Kuhn died on April 5, 1926 in Munich, only forty-nine years old. His wife Nelly lived at Schneckenburger Strasse 42 from October 2, 1931. She died at the age of fifty-one on May 15, 1938, in Munich. Her daughter Irene emigrated to England in 1936.
Little is known about Sabine Bachmann’s further life. She was probably widowed in 1939. Like many other Jewish citzens she probably was forced to move constantly in her own city She lived from January 26, 1939, to April 1, 1939, at Martiusstrasse 8.. She was obviously not deported, because according to the inscription on a gravestone she died in Munich. We don’t know whether she died before the set date of the deportation (it seemed she was meant to go to Theresienstadt in June 1942), took her own life or managed to survive the Shoa.
