biography
Margot Conradi, née Benger, only lived in Bad Kissingen for a short time and worked as a kindergarten teacher at the Israelite children's sanatorium.
She was born in July 1906 in Königshütte in Silesia (now Chorzow in Poland), the second child of the merchant Jakob Benger and his wife Henriette, née Grätzer, and had two more siblings: Alice (1903 - 1997) and Henry Zwi (1911 - 1989). Apparently the family had moved to Roßberg (district of Beuthens/now Bytom in Poland) in the meantime.
Little is known about the family's subsequent life. She continued to live in Bytom, where her father died in 1931. Margot is still listed as a kindergarten teacher in the 1934 Beuthen address book.
At the beginning of May 1938, she moved to Bad Kissingen and worked as a kindergarten teacher at the Israelite Children's Sanatorium for one spa season. She left the spa town again in mid-September and probably moved back to Berlin (Friedrichshain), where she lived according to the German minority census of May 1939.
At the beginning of the Second World War, she married Arnold Conradi, who lived in Berlin-Wilmersdorf, and moved in with him in Wilmersdorf. Margot and her husband were deported from Berlin to the Auschwitz extermination camp on January 12, 1943 and murdered. Her mother Henriette had also been deported to Auschwitz and murdered a year earlier.
Margot's siblings survived the Nazi era: her sister Alice marr. Neumark (Newmark), emigrated first to England in 1936 and then to the USA in 1939, while her younger brother Harry Zwi emigrated to Palestine and later also to the United States.
