Rudolph Levy-Barley met Gertrud Marks in Berlin during the war; she was classed by the “Nuremberg race laws” as a “1st-grade Mischling” (“half-breed”). The two of them got engaged. Levy-Barley went underground, presumably in October 1942. His fiancée hid him until she herself had to go into hiding in March 1943. The former artiste Levy-Barley was able to hide for a time in the restaurant run by Hedwig Milde and her later husband August Wagner at Nollendorfstraße 16 in the Schöneberg district. Levy-Barley was picked up by the Gestapo in February 1944; on 9 March he was deported to Auschwitz, where he was murdered.
