Regina Bleier and her adult son Hans moved into an apartment at Prinz-Handjery-Straße 49 in November 1940. It consisted of one room, a kitchen and a bathroom. Regina Bleier was made to perform forced labor at the Pertrix works in Berlin-Niederschöneweide. Hans Bleier was imprisoned in Sachsenhausen concentration camp on February 3, 1941. He was murdered there only two weeks later, on February 18, 1941. His mother Regina Bleier completed her declaration of assets on March 18, 1942, before taking her own life on April 1, 1942, the day before she was due to be deported.

Four months later, on August 1, 1942, husband-and-wife Martin and Lina Berwin were instructed to move into the apartment the Bleiers had occupied. The Berwins had previously lived on Urbanstraße in Kreuzberg. They lived here for barely a year before being deported to the Theresienstadt ghetto on March 17, 1943. From there they were transported to Auschwitz extermination camp, where they were murdered.

Kurt and Charlotte Freundlich were first listed in the Berlin directory of 1941 as resident with their two children Wolfgang and Denny on Prinz-Handjery-Straße. The family of four lived here in a 1.5-room apartment with a kitchen. They had previously lived nearby at Nogatstraße 47. Kurt Freundlich was a motor mechanic by profession and worked for A.M. Barth in Berlin-Hohenschönhausen. Charlotte Freundlich had no profession. It is likely she stayed at home with the two children. On October 26, 1942, the family was deported to the Riga ghetto. Denny was a little over one year old at the time; his brother Wolfgang was four years old. All four died on October 29, 1942, the day they arrived in Riga. It is not known whether they did not survive the journey or were murdered on arrival.

Married couple Berta and Gerhard Popper moved into this apartment on July 1, 1940. They had previously lived nearby at Emser Straße 4. They now occupied a 1-room apartment with a kitchen, “without any modern conveniences” as later tenant Vera Fürst wrote in the declaration of assets she was required to complete before her deportation. Berta Popper performed forced labor for Pertrix in Berlin-Niederschöneweide. This company belonged to the Quandt group, which manufactured batteries and torches for the German army. Her husband Gerhard also performed forced labor in a dye- and printing works in Berlin. They were both deported on November 27, 1941, to the Riga ghetto, where they were murdered after their arrival.

Richard and Margarete Lubinski moved into the building at Prinz-Handjery-Straße 49 after 1939 and were deported from here. It is not known whether they lived alone in an apartment or whether they lived with subtenants.
