In addition to Hanna Steiner, her sister Marianne and her husband Karl, who had lived in Vienna since 1929 and fled to Czechoslovakia, also lived in the house. They were both registered for emigration, but Germany revoked their citizenship and the Czechoslovak Republic refused to renew their Czechoslovak citizenship despite their home rule in Prašný Újezd. Both were murdered in the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp.
Ida Barthová, a refugee from Jihlava, also lived in the house. She was murdered either in Ossowa or in the Sobibor death camp.
Walter Weiss was a druggist by profession, he fled from Austria first to Brno, then to Prague, where he was placed in a labour camp. He was murdered in the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp, as was another tenant, Moritz Deutsch.
The fate of Elsa and Edita Deutsch is unclear; they came from Strání u Uherského Brod and escaped from Vienna. They were supposed to be deported back from Czechoslovakia, but were not stripped of their citizenship until November 1944.
The other tenants were the Hecht family from Bezděkov u Jihlavy. Artur Hecht was murdered in Mauthausen on 9 October 1940, his widow Irma was deported to the Lodz ghetto, where her trace is lost.
Gertrude Schlag was murdered in the Izbica ghetto.
Passports of Tereza and Walter Schleier
Tenants Tereza Schleier and upholsterer Valtr Schleier, whose passports, marked with a capital J, can be seen in the picture, did not show up for the deportation transport and simply disappeared from the point of view of the Nazi authorities. They survived underground. After the war they emigrated to South America.
