From 1934 to 1942, Channe (also known as Hanna or Anna) Schnurmacher, née Davidsohn, lived in a 3.5-room apartment on the second floor of the building at Oranienstraße 207. Her daughter Klara Birnbaum (born in 1897), née Schnurmacher, and her granddaughter Doris lived with her. Channe Schnurmacher's husband Wilhelm had opened a clothes store on the first floor around 1907, long before she moved in; his first store had been just a few doors down in a basement at Skalitzer Straße 113. After his death in 1933, Channe Schnurmacher carried on the business until 1940. Channe and Wilhelm Schnurmacher had two other children besides Klara: a son named Max (born in 1899) and another daughter, Erna (born in 1892). Channe Schnurmacher was deported on August 31, 1942, to the Theresienstadt ghetto, where she died. Klara Birnbaum and her 17-year-old daughter Doris were deported on March 1 and 3 to Auschwitz and murdered. The Schnurmachers' daughter Erna Katz wrote to her mother from Brazil in 1947, by which time not even the building existed.

In November 1940, husband-and-wife Albert and Martha Sorauer, née Lewin, were also housed in the apartment. They had moved to Berlin from Breslau, where Albert Sorauer had owned a laundry where his wife had worked. After the First World War, he changed his line of business and opened a lighting store, which he ran until the 1930s. Finally, he ran a medical store. It is not clear when the Sorauers moved to Berlin. Before they moved in with the Schnurmachers they had lived as subtenants at Moritzstraße 22. Albert Sorauer performed forced labor as a precision mechanic for a company in Französisch-Buchholz on the outskirts of Berlin. Martha Sorauer worked as a cleaning lady. Albert and Martha Sorauer were deported on October 3, 1942, to the Theresienstadt ghetto, where Albert Sorauer died on May 7, 1943. Martha Sorauer was deported from there on May 16, 1944, to Auschwitz, where she was murdered. The Sorauers had a son who managed to escape to Australia.

Samuel Jacoby, a physician, and his non-Jewish wife Hedwig Schreder moved in at Oranienstraße 207 in the late 1930s. They were registered as resident here in May 1939. Samuel Jacoby had studied medicine in Breslau and in 1897 opened a practice for dermatology and venereology at Oranienstraße 62, on Moritzplatz. Around 1910, he moved his practice and home to Oranienstraße 144, on the opposite side of the street. On December 9, 1938, Samuel Jacoby's medical license was withdrawn because he was Jewish. He was forced to give up his practice and apartment at Oranienstraße 144 but survived the Nazi dictatorship in Berlin, protected by his marriage to a non-Jew. After the war, the Jacobys lived at Spremberger Straße 1 in Neukölln. For a short time, Samuel Jacoby owned a practice on Sonnenallee. He died on November 24, 1949, in Neukölln hospital.

In August 1940, husband-and-wife Siegfried and Clara Levy, née Horn, moved into a furnished room in the Jacobys's apartment. All they owned was a few items of clothing. They no longer had any furniture or household goods. Until 1938, they had lived in the upmarket Westend area and on Kurfürstendamm. Siegfried Levy had been a real estate agent. On August 21, 1942, Siegfried and Clara Levy were deported to Theresienstadt ghetto, where Siegfried Levy died on December 4, 1942. Clara Levy was deported from there on May 16, 1944, to Auschwitz, where she was murdered.

In January 1942, Max Jaspis, a stateless commercial man, moved into another room in the Jacobys' apartment. In the 1920s, he had set up his own business manufacturing mens' and ladies' clothing and ran a thriving store at Siemensstraße 14 in Schöneweide. But his success and luck were not to last: The store was demolished during antisemitic riots as early as 1934. Max Jaspis and his non-Jewish wife Frieda Jaspis, née Schiller, then started producing ladies' clothing at home. But in November 1938, their apartment was wrecked and their livelihood destroyed. In 1939, the couple divorced and Max Jaspis moved to Berlin-Mitte. He performed forced labor in his old line of business: He worked as a cutter for Pose, a company that produced "army kit" at Boxhagener Straße 16. Max Jaspis was deported on March 1, 1943, to Auschwitz, where he was murdered.

The unmarried Goldschmidt sisters, Selma and Bertha, moved into a 2-room apartment on the fifth floor of the building at Oranienstraße 207 in October 1917. They came from the province of Posen. Bertha Goldschmidt is listed in the Berlin directory of 1918 as an office clerk, resident at this address. in the following years she – and probably her sister Selma Goldschmidt – worked as a seamstress. In the last years of their lives, the sisters lived on disability and social pensions. On March 28, 1942, Selma and Bertha Goldschmidt were deported to the Piaski transit ghetto. Which extermination camp they were sent on to is not known. The Jewish Community housing advice office wrote a month later:

In 1942, Friedrich Schulmeister and his wife Katharina, née Herz, moved into the Goldschmidt sisters' 2-room apartment. They had previously lived at Burgherrenstraße 3 in Tempelhof, not far from Friedrich Schulmeister's parents. Shortly after being forced to move in at Oranienstraße 207, they went underground. They left Berlin and found a hiding place at Bachstraße 108 in Hamburg. In 1943 they were apprehended and taken to Berlin. On September 28, 1943, Friedrich and Katharina Schulmeister were deported to Auschwitz and murdered.

In 1914, Dr. Adolf Kraft, a physician, and his wife Clara Kraft moved in to the third-floor apartment at Oranienstraße 206, where Adolf Kraft also ran his practice. After his medical license was withdrawn in September 1938, he and his wife decided to emigrate. In spring 1938, they fled to Australia, where Adolf Kraft died just a few years later, on February 28, 1940. The stumbling stone laid for Dr. Adolf Kraft in 1996 is mistakenly engraved with the word "deported". It was not known at the time that he had managed to escape.

Another physician, Dr. Alfred Hohenstein, took over the apartment and the practice. In the 1930s, he had worked as a general practitioner in the districts Pankow, Wedding and Neukölln. His last place of work was on Anzengruberstraße in Neukölln. Alfred Hohenstein's medical license was withdrawn on December 9, 1938. From then on, he was authorized to treat Jewish patients only. Forced to give up his practice and apartment on Anzengruberstraße, he moved in at Oranienstraße 206. On March 4, 1943, Alfred Max Hohenstein, his wife Erna Hohenstein, née Lippmann, and their eight-year-old son Dieter were deported to Auschwitz, where they were murdered on April 20, 1943.

The Hohensteins sublet a room to Walter Lustig from Vienna, who performed forced labor as a metal worker at a textiles plant in Zehlendorf. He had studied at the German College of Physical Education and worked as a swimming instructor for a while. He was also a toolmaker and listed in the Berlin directory as a "sales representative". He left the Jewish Community in 1920. In the 1930s he lived with his non-Jewish wife Lucie Lustig, née Borchert, and her mother at Weisestraße 21 in Neukölln. In 1939, the family was torn apart: Walter Lustig's sister Helene had to leave Germany because she was stateless, and fled to the United Kingdom. Walter Lustig divorced his wife against her wishes and moved into the Hohensteins' apartment. On March 1, 1943, he was deported to Auschwitz and selected to work. He survived two years in Auschwitz. In January 1945, he was made to march with other survivors to Mauthausen concentration camp. He lived to see the camp's liberation by US troops on May 5, 1945, but died a few days later, on May 12, 1945, of exhaustion.

Dr. Arthur Arndt, a physician, lived with his family for a short time in a 2-room apartment in an unknown location in the building. The Arndts were among the few Berliners who survived in hiding. Arthur Arndt had studied medicine in Berlin and volunteered for military service in the First World War. He was awarded an Iron Cross. He and his wife Lina Arndt, née Arnoldi, had two children.
