Family Holocaust Records from International Tracing Service




As documented in an earlier post, at the end of 2016, I visited the International Tracing Service with Hans-Peter Klein.  At the end of the visit, I left an extensive list of family members, mostly victims, seeking whatever documents in which they were mentioned that were housed at ITS.

Links to these documents and brief descriptions of the individuals are listed below.  The purpose of posting all this is twofold: First to make this information available to any interested parties and second to give an example of the huge resources available at the ITS.

I trust that a brother would know if his brother was murdered as indicated in the
Page of Testimony below, it is interesting to note that a Ludwig Frankenberg of the
same age (within a year) from Meimbressen whose father was Jakob came to the
USA in 1926 with plans to be a permanent resident. The conclusion is that he
returned to Germany.

names:
08 Apr 1942 Weinsheim, Bad Kreuznach, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany; Perished in
Holocaust: Suicide
Death:
From Robert Stern:

My grandmother, Susannah (called Sani all her life) Leib (not Leid) was moved
upstairs to a small room in her house. German gentiles moved into the house. She
committed suicide by swallowing a cyanide capsule given to her by a family friend,
a doctor, that my grandfather regularly used to play cards with. She died the last
day of Passover, 1942. I looked up the date on one of those eternal Jewish
calendars.

She is buried in the Jewish cemetery in Bad Kreuznach (there since 1672), I
visited. Her name is mispelled, as Lieb,instead of Leib. Who was responsible for internment? Unknown.
I believe the following entry from the Gedenkbuch to be Susannah Leib as the
death date coincides with the last day of Passover, 1942:

Hirsch, Sara
née Leib
born on 27th October 1890
resident of Weinsheim
Date/Place of Death:
08th April 1942
suicide

Information found at the International Tracing Service in Bad Arolsen, Germany
indicated that she had poisoned herself.

Kristallnacht as Reported by Life Magazine in its 2nd Anniversary Edition


Last week I received a mailing from the USHMM of the new exhibit “Americans and the Holocaust.”  It reminded me of my impulse purchase a couple of years ago of the Life Magazine issue dated 28 November 1938 and that I should be including it in my donation to the museum of family restitution correspondence. 

The cover shows smiling baby having a second birthday as this was the 2nd anniversary issue of the magazine.  The cover is ironic given that the issue devotes 9 pages to Kristallnacht and conflict in Jerusalem. 

What did Americans know about what was happening in Germany?  Take a look:
Here are links to the relevant pages:

I have been unable to find another source confirming the Joe Kennedy item.  This interview from the JFK Library should have confirmed it, but, it does not:
