"Salomon ('Sally') Israel Hess, a Jewish businessman from Wattenscheid, North Rhine Westphalia, and his wife Frieda Sara Hess (née Jungblut) emigrated to Cape Town, South Africa, in 1939. In a letter Sally states that he was persecuted for being Jewish since 1933. The couple sold their business, Kaufhaus Hess, to Kaufhaus Horten GmbH in 1936. The money was used to finance their eimigration and to pay maintenance costs for their son Alfred Israel Hess (born 1908) who suffered from schizophrenia and had been living at a Jewish psychiatric hospital in Bendorf/Sayn near Koblenz (owned by Reichsvereinigung der Juden in Deutschland) since 1931. Heinrich Pieneck from Gelsenkirchen was appointed to be Alfred Hess's legal guardian. In 1942 Alfred Hess was deported to an unknown destination where he was killed."@eng .
