Friendly message from Dr. Gert-Dieter Ulferts, Head of the Art Collections Department Klassik Stiftung Weimar Directorate Museums Burgplatz 4, 99423 Weimar. Dr. Kurt Boer *1880 - + 1942 in Sondershausen, came from a long-established family in Sondershausen. After completing his law studies and working in the Prussian civil service, he headed the administration of the Red Cross hospital in Sondershausen during the First World War. From 1919 he worked as a lawyer and notary in Sondershausen. Despite his Christian faith, he was banned from working as a Jew in 1938 and taken to the Buchenwald concentration camp. With the news of his imminent deportation, he took his own life in 1942. (From the text on a stumbling stone in front of his former home at Güntherstraße 57, formerly No. 27)
