The Ledermann Family of Bauerbach

The first meeting with a member of the Ledermann family was at the beginning of this project to reassemble the Jewish community of Themar. Dr. Ernst Ledermann was a significant presence in the life of the Jewish families, as he had written letters on behalf of the Themar men imprisoned in Buchenwald after the Reichspogromnacht/Kristallnacht to the Gestapo in Weimar, appealing for their release. Dr. Ledermann lived in the town of Gotha and the link between him and the Jews of Themar seemed at first to be a business connection only, primarily to the Gassenheimer agricultural business and the S. J. Baer department store. Ledermann, Herbert Gassenheimer, and Arthur Plaut 0f the Baer family, were imprisoned in Buchenwald, and soon after their release, Herbert travelled to Gotha to meet with Ledermann and the letters were subsequently written and delivered.

At that time, we had no idea, however, how closely entwined the Ledermann family was with several of the Jewish families of Marisfeld and Themar: the Frankenberg, Hofmann, and Sachs families. It has been the dedicated research of family member Joan Fradkin in the Jewish Registers of Bauerbach and Walldorf/Werra in Thüringen, and other places in Germany where the Ledermanns lived, that has enabled us to prepare an outline of the family back into the 1700s.

Please note that unless otherwise stated, Bauerbach is the Bauerbach near Schmalkalden-Meiningen in Thüringen. So too is Waldorf the Waldorf an der Werra in Thüringen.
