Denny Löwenstein was the son of Irene Löwenstein who is also listed in this Memorial Book.

Denny was born on September 14, 1939, in Frankfurt am Main. His mother had lived in the home of the Home of the Jewish Women's Association in Neu-Isenburg in the last weeks before his birth. She returned there with her newborn son.

Denny Löwenstein stayed in “Heim Isenburg” for six months. On March 13, 1940, he was deported to Frankfurt on Schwanenstraße 7. The boy's last address was that of his mother and her husband. It is not known whether he was Denny's father. The family lived at Schüt-zenbrunnen 13, today's Alfred-Brehm-Platz at the main entrance to the Frankfurt Zoo.

On November 22, 1941, Denny Löwenstein, his mother Irene Mayer and her husband Manfred Mayer were deported from Frankfurt to the Kaunas ghetto. This was the third transport in which Jews were expelled from Frankfurt. The ghetto Riga was planned as the destination, but the transport was redirected to Kaunas in occupied Lithuania because the ghetto in Riga was overcrowded. The deportation train probably arrived in Kaunas on November 24. The deportees spent their last night there.

The next morning they were driven out of the ghetto to large pits and shot (Kingreen, Gewaltsam verschleppt, S. 366 ff.).

Among the deportees murdered in Kaunas on November 25, 1941, was the two-year-old Denny Löwenstein.
