Hermann Ehrlich is recognized among Jewish contributors to Economics & Business — Co-director of the Tuschinski cinema concern beside his brother-in-law Abraham Tuschinski; murdered at Sobibor in 1943.
Origins
Hermann Kopel Ehrlich was born on 2 December 1891 in Łódź, into a Polish Jewish family. His sister Mariem Estera married Abraham Tuschinski, and Hermann became the third man of the family concern that built the finest cinemas in the Netherlands.
The artistic side
Where his brother-in-law Herman Gerschtanowitz kept the business, Ehrlich shared Tuschinski's artistic streak. He sat on the boards of the Rotterdam houses — the Grand Theatre, the Olympia, the Roxy, the Royal, Studio 32 and the Thalia on the Hoogstraat — between 1927 and 1936.
Memory
Deported under the occupation, he was murdered at the Sobibor camp on 13 March 1943, at fifty-one — the last of the three founders to die. His children Nathan and Fifi survived the war. His name is written in the Digital Jewish Monument of the Netherlands, and a plaque in the Amsterdam theatre honours the three founders together.
