The road that Sally (Franz Korwan) Katzenstein had to take under the National Socialist regime was marked by ostracism, disenfranchisement, and annihilation. Together with his life partner Elsa Saenger, he was deported on October 22, 1940 from Baden-Baden to the internment camp of Gurs in southern France. In February 1942, both were transferred to the internment camp of Noé, in which Sally (Franz Korwan) Katzenstein perished on September 4, 1942.  On May 30, 1944 Elsa Saenger was deported first to the detention camp in Drancy (near Paris) and then to Auschwitz, where her tracks disappeared in the extermination camp.
