Julius Lieber was born on 23 September 1875 in Landeck, West Prussia (today Lędyczek). He last worked for the Heinrich H. Klüssendorf factory in Spandau, where armaments were produced. The firm employed many forced labourers during this period and it is likely that Julius Lieber was one of them.

His wife, Lina Lieber, was born Lina Haase on 22 May 1880 in Kolmar, Posen.

Julius and Lina lived together with their son Gerhard and his wife Gertrud in an apartment at Breite Strasse 15 in Spandau. The family ran a textiles shop in the same building. As house number 15 no longer stands, the Liebers’ Stolpersteine are laid in front of today’s house number 16.

The Liebers also had a daughter, Frieda Dahlke, née Lieber, who did not live in the same house. She managed to survive the war.

Julius and Lina Lieber were deported on the “4th major transport of the elderly” on 27 March 1943 to Theresienstadt ghetto and on 16 May 1944 to Auschwitz, where they were murdered.
