The Moses family
Cultural commitment for everyone
Elisenstraße 3, 50667 Köln
Until their flight from the National Socialists to the USA, the Moses family – Salli, his wife Luise and their two children Elisabeth and Paul – lived in Cologne at Elisenstrasse 3 and 24. Elisabeth (1894–1957), an art historian, and Paul Moses (1897–1965), an ear, nose and throat doctor, were both particularly active and committed in the cultural sphere.
