Early Life

Erich Dublon was born on November 6th, 1890 in Apolda Germany. Later on, he resided in Erfurt Germany with his brother, sister-in-law, and nieces. Erich and his brother, Willi Dublon, co-owned a shoe store called Salamander Schuhe. The Dublon family lived contently in Erfurt despite the repressive social and political climate.

Nazi Persecution

The aftermath of WWI fostered a dangerous political, economic, and social climate in Germany. A severe financial crisis involving hyperinflation, poverty, and mass unemployment contributed to the rise of Adolf Hitler’s fascist and staunchly antisemitic regime. After the Third Reich seized power in Germany, Nazi leaders began to implement harsh economic restrictions to isolate and eventually eliminate Jews from European society. The Nuremberg Laws, enacted in September of 1935, devised a legal distinction between Germans and Jews. These laws revoked Jewish rights to German citizenship, as well as legalized and encouraged the systemic persecution of Jews. Despite this Nazi tyranny, the Dublon family refused to uproot their lives and were hopeful that the period of antisemitism would pass. The Dublons accepted that living in Germany was no longer possible after the Kristallnacht Pogroms and several Nazi policies restricting Jewish economic life.
