Lane Hammerschlag is the daughter of the tailor Toni Hammerschlag, who was born on December 10, 1896 in Amöneburg. Lane's father was the 1849 in Neu-Isenburg born upholsterer Isaak Oppenheimer. Lane was born on September 1, 1938, at the Jewish Hospital in Frankfurt Gagernstraße. A few days after her birth she was housed in the Home of the Jewish Women’s Association in Neu-Isenburg. She spent the first three and a half years of her life here. In the late February 1942, she moved to the Frankfurt home of the Association of “Weibliche Fürsorge” in the Hans-Thoma-Straße 24 due to the dissolution of “Heim Isenburg.”
Together with many other children from the Frankfurt home, Lane Hammerschlag was deported to Theresienstadt ghetto on September 15, 1942, from the Frankfurt home. Two months later, on November 12, 1942, Lane Hammerschlag died in Terezin at the age of four. According to the death certificate, she died in the morning at 5:15 of pneumonia and was buried the same day in Theresienstadt.
