In 1942 the whole estate was compulsorily sold to the "Reichsvereinigung der Juden in Deutschland" ("Reich Organization of Jews in Germany") or "Jüdischer Religionsverband Hamburg e.V." ("Jewish Religious Federation Hamburg"). Before this the houses Nos. 40, 42, 46, 47 were ofter entered as the last place of residence in the Gestapo Deportation Transport Lists of deportees on the Deportation Transports on 11.07.1942 and 19.07.1942. Almost all "Jews" registered by the Gestapo had to be accommodated within the few buildings of the "Jüdischer Religionsverband Hamburg e.V." ("Jewish Religious Federation Hamburg") before April 1942. The living conditions in the "Judenhäuser" ("Jewish Buildings") was extremely cramped. There were at least 168 individuals registered as occupying "Judenhäuser" ("Jewish Buildings") Nos. 40, 42, 46, 47 on the Deportation Transports on 11.07.1942 and 19.07.1942. Today Schlachterstraße has been incorporated into the adjacent Großneumarkt, taking its name. Of the former houses Nos. 40, 41, 42 and 46, 47, 48 only Nos. 39 and 41 remain where what today is the north-west side of Großneumarkt. They are modern houses as the original houses were destroyed during the war.
Of the total of 169 individuals deported from these "Judenhäuser" ("Jewish Buildings") in
the years 1942 and 1943 the following, born after 1920, are named: (No deportations departed from
here between 10.03.1943 - 14.02.1945)
