Ingeborg Kapellner

Ingeborg Kapellner was born in Potsdam/Brandenburg on 28 March 1924, the daughter of the merchant Heinrich Kapellner (1889-1936) and his wife Flora (1886-1942).

In 1934, her parents founded the "Kapellner Children's Home" at Große Weinmeisterstraße 26/27 in Potsdam and advertised it in various newspapers.
After her father's death in 1936, her children's home was given the address Herrmannstraße 11 (now 11a) in Zehlendorf, but it is not known why this change of location took place.

In addition to the Kapellner family and Flora's sister, Alice Goldschmidt (1890-1943), at least 40 children and young people lived in this home between 1936 and 1942, many of whom were murdered in the Holocaust, including Ingeborg, who was deported together with her mother Flora on the 22nd transport to the "East" on 26 October 1942. 
Today we know that the transport went to Riga, where they were murdered just three days later, on 29 October 1942.
