Luise Walzer worked as executive secretary of a chemical factory in Berlin. She was dismissed in 1933 because she was Jewish. In 1937 she began work for the factory owner Theodor Wolff. She took care of winding down his company, since he wanted to emigrate. Luise Walzer was baptized a Catholic in 1939.
On July 31, 1942, Walzer’s mother Seline was deported to Theresienstadt and later murdered in Treblinka extermination camp. Luise Walzer originally wanted to accompany her mother, but the armaments company for which she performed forced labor, Deutsche Waffen- und Munitionsfabrik, would not let her go. When she herself was to be deported in January 1943, she hid in her friend Anna Hess’s home. Hess later took her to Else and Walter Frick in Motzen, with whom Arthur Nebe was also hiding. The Reich Criminal Director had played a key role in Nazi mass crimes up to 1944. He had gone into hiding after the failed coup of July 20, 1944, due to his connections to the military resistance. Nebe was arrested on January 16, 1945, along with Anna Hess, the Fricks, and Luise Walzer.
Anna Hess last saw her friend in Kaiserdamm police prison in March 1945. After that, there are no further traces of Luise Walzer.
