Lea Fanny Lehrer was born on January 26, 1930, in Frankfurt am Main. She stayed at the “Isenburg” home from March 6, 1930, to November 11, 1938, and from November 28, 1938, to May 26, 1939. She was placed there because her mother, Sara Lehrer (née Luel), was apparently mentally ill and was admitted to the Kalmenhof in Idstein in August 1930, where she died on July 19, 1934.
The first time, Lea Fanny Lehrer was deregistered from Röderbergweg 87, Frankfurt am Main—presumably from the Jewish Orphanage. Her brother Hermann Lehrer also lived there.
The second time, she was registered as having moved to Berlin-Beelitz, where the Wilhelm-Auguste-Viktoria Foundation’s Jewish Educational Institution was located. It was also known as the Jewish Educational Institution for Mentally Disabled Children.
It operated from 1907 to 1933 and was the only Jewish institution that admitted Jewish children with intellectual and physical disabilities. It remained in operation until the children and teachers were deported.
Lea Fanny Lehrer was deported from Berlin to the Sobibór extermination camp on June 13, 1942.
On May 8, 1945, she was declared dead.
