Stolperstein für Feige Rebensaft © H.-J.Hupka, 2013
Feige Rebensaft, née Przemyslaner, was born on May 5, 1880, in Brody, Galicia. Nothing is known about her life, her husband, whether she had children, or what she did for a living. She probably moved to Berlin in the 1920s, where she lived at Friedbergstrasse 26.
It could be that Leon Rebensaft, who may have been her nephew, moved in with her in the 1930s, since the death certificate issued after he was murdered at the Sachsenhausen concentration camp lists his address as Friedbergstrasse 11 (today 26).
Feige Rebensaft was deported to the Litzmannstadt ghetto on October 24, 1941, with the 2nd “Osttransport.” These deportations to the east began after the Soviet Union was invaded in the fall of 1941. During that fall, 7,034 Jews from Berlin alone were deported to the east.
ID cards were kept for the people interned in the Litzmannstadt ghetto. An ID card dated June 7, 1943, was issued to a woman named “Faiga Rebenzaft,” whose date of birth was given as May 1, 1885. Since there is no other Feige or Faiga Rebens(z)aft in the Holocaust databases, we can assume that this card belonged to Feige Rebensaft from Friedbergstrasse. A mistake may have been made when the birth year was recorded, or she may have told the issuing authority that she was younger. The card also lists her profession as “sales clerk” and says that she worked peeling vegetables in a kitchen in the ghetto.
According to a note in the margins of an index card in the files of the head of the Berlin-Brandenburg Regional Finance Office, in 1967 a man named Henry Reben had asked for information about the circumstances of Feige Rebensaft’s life and death. This was probably Heinz Rebensaft, born on March 21, 1914, who was able to emigrate and took the name Henry Reben in the United States. He died in 1998, and we were not able to locate any descendants.
Feige Rebensaft’s date of death is unknown.
