Pepi Steinberg, was born in Berlin on the 27th of February 1921.
She was enrolled in the Jewish Community School on Rykestraße in April 1927, where she remained as a student until April 1935. During the war, Pepi Steinberg trained at the Steckelsdorf agricultural training center near Rathenow, which had been set up by the Hachshara movement to prepare young Jews for emigration to Palestine. At the same time, she was forced into labor at the "Rathenower Reißverschluß GmbH", a zipper factory. Her nationality was registered alternately as “Polish” in the school registry and “unclear” in the zipper factory records.
Pepi Steinberg was deported from Steckelsdorf via Magdeburg to Auschwitz in July 1942 with 51 other youths, and she was murdered there.
