Leopold Jacubowitz was born in Lautenburg in West Prussia on November 8, 1872. He was a tradesman and was married to Käthe Jacubowitz, née Richter, who was born on June 23, 1885, in Filehne, which was also in West Prussia. They apparently had no children.

Leopold and Käthe Jacubowitz lived at Friedbergstrasse 47 until September 30, 1940, when they were forced to move to a “Judenwohnung” (Jewish apartment) at Essener strasse 24. There they were subletters in the apartment of Adolf Schwarz and occupied one and a half rooms in the front part of the building. According to the declaration of assets that they, like all Jews, were forced to submit, the Jacubowitzes did not have much in the way of property.

Leopold Jacubowitz and his wife were taken from Essener strasse and deported to the Theresienstadt ghetto on July 27, 1942, with the 30th “Alterstransport.” Of the 100 elderly people deported on this train that day, 97 were murdered.

Leopold Jacubowitz was killed in the Theresienstadt ghetto on March 21, 1944.
