Henry got a job with an import firm handling correspondence. They had a large house and converted the gym into a bedroom. Joachim recalled that some family members lived in Krakow, Poland and the family was welcomed there by the Wasserberger family. Because Joachim was not born in Germany and did not have German citizenship, the family was considered stateless. They were taken to the railway station in open trucks to shame them publicly and deported to Poland along with 1500 other Jews. In October 1938, the family was taken to police headquarters and their passports were invalidated. Henry then got a job with a luxury department store, Hirsch & Co. He then got an internship with a private, Jewish-owned bank and was promoted, until 1938, when the bank was Aryanized. He participated in some school activities, such as orchestra, but as a Jew, could not go on school outings, or participate in activities, such as sports, that took place in public spaces. He attended a private school run by the Dresden Chamber of Commerce. In 1936, Henry was forced to leave school because he was Jewish. The family considered leaving Germany, possibly for the US, but the strict quotas made getting visas unlikely. Many Jews were forced to put non-Jews in charge of their businesses or sell them at a loss to Nazi approved buyers, but Joachim’s business was never Aryanized in this way. Joachim’s brother, Ferdinand, closed his office in Berlin on April 1, 1933, and left for Palestine.

As the Soviet Army approached, the Germans prepared to close the camp. The family got on the list, partly because they spoke German. Schindler owned two nearby factories and employed about 900 Jewish forced laborers, who he protected from the abuse at Płaszów and from deportation. That August, the family learned of Oskar Schindler’s list. In 1944, Płaszów became a concentration camp and conditions worsened. Heinz worked in the camp office Martha and Susi in a factory Joachim outside the camp.
