(Unknown), Rudolfina [b. 20.12.1882, ? - d. c.1942, Majdanek, Poland]

I have tentatively placed this Jindřich Ascher in the family tree as the (possibly estranged) husband of Berta Klingerová. While it is not clear whether or not they had any children, based on their dates of birth I'd say it's probable that they did. No further information is currently available. Last residence: Myslíkova 32, Prague.

Ela (also known as Elka) was the daughter of (Unknown) Bergwein and Frieda née Robitscheková. Ela was either born or raised in Lobosice. She married MUDr. Hugo Klinger (1877) and together they had three children during their residence in Ustí nad Labem. Ultimately they were all deported from their home in Prague and perished in the Holocaust.

Notes: There is some confusion about their daughter Gertrude. She is mentioned (as Trude Klinger) in her grandmother Frieda's obituary, and also in some second-hand documentation I have from the Jewish Museum in Prague, but the good folks at the International Tracing Service have indicated that the Gertrude Klinger listed on that document was actually a different Gertrude Klinger. I've posted the limited information I have here.

Bondy, Simon Josef [b. c.1880, Liteň / Hořovice, Bohemia - d. ?] Police Conscription Document Police Conscription Document Police Conscription Document Police Conscription Document
The only son of Emanuel and Karoline (née Fischelová) Bondy. Listed as Simon Josef on all of his parents conscription documents, apparently he went by Josef. He married the former Rosa (Růžena) Vondraková. Notes: There are two prospective Josef Bondys listed in the Czech police conscription archive (and no Simon Bondys), but I've included the only one which is more or less certainly the right person. There is also a Josef Bondy (b. 1880) in the Czech Holocaust Archive, but it is not conclusively the same person. Regardless, I've included the deportation information. Hopefully I'll be able to find out more about Josef to preserve the dignity of his memory.

Emanuel married the former Karoline Fischelová and had 8 children. It appears that he was born in Liteň but may have lived in Hořovice, a nearby town. In Karlin, Emanuel worked for the firm of M. & J. Soyka as a "Reisender." I believe the second obituary/newspaper announcement speaks to a change in the funeral, from the 15th to the 17th of March, due to some kind of delay at the Olšany cemetery. No further information is currently available.

A daughter of Emanuel and Karoline (née Fischelová) Bondy. Charlotte married Leopold Rahm and had at least two children. Notes: Mistakes abound in the Czech National Archives conscription database: In two of the Bondy documents, it appears that Charlotte is listed as "Karolina" Bondy. In one Rahm conscription document, the Archives have listed Charlotte as surname "Bonči" although it clearly says "Bondi," and in the other her children are erroneously listed as surname "Rakur." Her husband probably passed away before 1912, as he is not listed in the obituaries for Charlotte's mother and sister. None of the Rahm family are listed in the Czech Holocaust Archives. No further information is currently available.

Drobnerová, Zdeňka [b. 8.7.1894, Prage - d. c. 5.1944, Auschwitz, Poland] Yad Vashem Page of Testimony
The only child of Dr. Emil and Adléta (or Adelheid, née Kafková) Drobner. Zdeňka was widowed from Karel Wallo. They had no children. A Yad Vashem researcher was able to document some significant details about her life. According to him, Zdeňka was a radio announcer and journalist in the domestic and foreign language sections of Radiojournal, the Czechoslovak state radio, from 1935 to 1939. Before that she was part owner of the Parfumerie Morana in Prague. The researcher also notes that Zdeňka' was widowed and that her permanent address was Na Valech 283/16 in what is now Prague 6, but the Czech Holocaust Archives have placed her at Americká 26 near Vinohrady, with her mother. Possible last residence, Americká 26, Prague.

Engländer, Isidor [b. 1858, Libeň (Prague) - d. 9.2.1908, Prague] Police Conscription Document Obituary, Prager Tagblatt, 11 February 1908
Isidor's obituary clearly lists Rosa Pick as his mother-in-law, as well as his siblings and other in-laws which more or less establish him as the husband of our Marie Picková (1863). His siblings include brothers Löw (mistakenly listed as Leo in the Czech conscription archive, married to Charlotte née Kuh) and Jakob (married to Katharina née Kuh) and sisters Regine (married to Ludwig Busch) and Rosa (married to Josef Holub). The Louise Stein listed is probably Marie's sister Aloisie (married to Josef Stein, deceased). There are a number of nieces and nephews not indicated, and no suggestion of any grandchildren. According to the sole available conscription document, it appears Isidor was a magazine publisher. Isidor is buried in the New Jewish Cemetery in Prague. No further information is currently available.

Fischel, Simon [b. 20.4.1857, Hostivař (Prague) - d. ?] Police Conscription Document Police Conscription Document
The (only?) brother of my great-great-grandmother Marie Fischelová. Unfortunately I still have no information on their parents, even though they originated in the outskirts of Prague - in the Hostivař region - and should be listed in the census and conscription archives. According to the police conscription documents, it appears that Simon was married at some point, with some change of that status c.1889. The census document concurs and indicates Simon was married to the former Marie Neummanová of Michle. The change in status is a divorce dated 9 March 1889 - a rare occurrence in those days to be sure. The same document also indicates their two daughters lived with their mother in Michle, and that concurs with the police conscription document just discovered. Simon was a butcher. I wonder if he worked with Josef Klinger, his brother-in-law.

Irma was the daughter of Max and Hedwig (née Abelesová) Fischel. She was probably from Sobědruhy, part of Teplice in the "Sudetenland" in northern Bohemia. She married Arnošt Klinger, the youngest brother of my great-grandfather Rudolf, and together they appear to have had only two children . All were killed in the Holocaust. The transports to Auschwitz on 26 January 1943 are considered death transports because almost nobody on those transports survived the Shoah.  Last residence: Přemyslová 18, Prague.

An elder sister of my great-great-grandmother Marie Fischelová. She married Emanuel Bondy and had several children and at least one grandchild by the time of her death. Sadly she and my great-great-grandmother died within just a few months of one another. No other information is currently available.

Fischelová, Katharina [b. c. 1850, Hostivař (Prague) - d. ?] Police Conscription Document
A sister of my great-great-grandmother Marie, Katharina married Leopold Pollatschek, from whom she was widowed in 1884. According to the 1911 police conscription document, she lived in Prague II near Václavské Náměstí. Until her husband's death they lived in the Stuttgart, Germany area, specifically in the town of Neuwirthaus. Katharina returned to Prague shortly following Leopold's passing. No children are listed on the conscription document, although her husband's obituary indicates they definitely had some. No further information is currently available. Very interesting possibility: it could be that this Katharina Pollatschek is the same as the mother of Kamilla Pollatschek, who married Gustav Klinger, the eldest son of Karel and Rosa (née Lustig) Klinger; the connection of course is through Katharina's sister Marie, who was married to Josef Klinger, brother of Karel. That Katharina died in Prague 3 December 1920.

Fischelová, Marie [b. 1854, Hostivař (Prague) - d. 27.7.1912, Vršovice (Prague)]  Photograph Photograph Police Conscription Document Police Conscription Document Funeral Announcements, Prager Tagblatt
Wife of Josef Klinger (1851), and my great-great-grandmother. Unfortunately the Czech archives have no additional information on her parents, even though they are from Prague. From the funeral announcement, her living siblings in 1912 were her brother Simon, sister Katharina Pollatschek, and Rosa Pick. Her older sister Karoline passed away just a few months before Marie.

Sister of my great-great-grandmother and apparent wife of Weit Pick. Rosa was the eldest of the Fischel children. Her name appears in the obituaries of both of her sisters, but no husband is listed in either announcement. As of January 2012, the connection to Weit pick has been confirmed, as have all of the other connections which were dependent on that one. Unfortunately there is still no information available on her parents. Rosa's obituary lists the expected family members (minus her husband as we would expect of a widow), and also indicates she was a retired "Hausmutter des israelitischen Krankenpflegerinnen-Heims" which I think means she was, literally, the housemother of a Jewish home nurses association or organization. No further information is currently available. Note: On further study of one of the conscription records, it may be that her husband Veit passed away in Sudovo Hlavno (near Brandýs) - where he originated and where all three children were born - on 9 July 1878. That makes some sense as the oldest entry on the same conscription record is 1879 and thus indicates that Rosa and family moved back to Prague following his passing.

Freudenfeld, Vilém [b. 14.1.1907, Prague ? - d. 24.8.1944, Sachenhausen (Schwarzheide), Germany]
The (only?) son of Gotthold and Hermine (née Oesterreicher) Freudenfeld. Vilém lived in my great-grandparents' building at Ruská 20/562 in Vršovice before/until he was deported in 1943. The Czech Holocaust Archive has him passing away at "Schwarzheide," but I believe this is a reference to the Sachenhausen forced-labor and concentration camp. Based on the available data, it would appear that Vilém was sent to Terezín, then to Auschwitz, and finally onto Sachenhausen. It is unusual for one person to go through the concentration camp system like this, but all of my great-uncles (František, Karel (1919), Zdeněk) had similar experiences. Of all the victims in my family, these four men are the only ones who had that kind of multi-camp experience, and all perished in Germany. No further information is currently available.

Haim, Julius [b. c.1872, Smilovy Hory, Bohemia - d. ?] Police Conscription Document
Julius Haim was son of Emanuel and Ernestine Haim, and the husband of Camilla Klingerová. According to circumstantial information, he kept very close with the Klinger family before and after her death at the young age of 28. Julius had 7 brothers and sisters and an extended family, some of whom I've found in the Czech Holocaust archives. No further information is currently available.

Haimová, Anna [b. 1.8.1880, Smilovy Hory, Bohemia ? - d. c.1943, Auschwitz, Poland]
A daughter of Emanuel and Ernestine Haim, Anna was married to Siegmund Silberstern. No further information is currently available. According to the Czech Holocaust archives their last residence was Drahobejlova 60, Prague, but it appears they were deported from Tábor. Smilovy Hory is more or less on the outskirts of Mladá Vožice. The Cq transport was one of a number of transports from Terzín to Auschwitz during early 1943; almost none of the prisoners on those trains survived the Holocaust, and most were sent directly to the gas chambers.

Kamil was the youngest of the 11 children of Isak and Resie (née Doktor) Hoffmann, although I have only documented six children. He was a noted diplomat, poet, newspaper editor, and political confidant of Eduard Beneš and of Tomáš and Jan Masaryk. Please see the following links for details on his life:

RadioPraha article (in German) and RadioPraha article (in English)
WikiPedia (in German) and WikiPedia (in English)
List of Books and other Literature at the Deutsche National Bibliothek written by or about Kamil Hoffmann (in German)

Kamil published the following works:

Adagio stiller Abende, 1902
Die Vase, 1911
Deutsche Lyrik aus Österreich, 1911
Briefe der Liebe, 1913
Glocken meiner Heimat, 1936
Politisches Tagebuch 1932-1939 (modern annotated version out of print but available, ISBN 3-900743-90-8)

Kamil appears to have married his niece, Irma Oplatková (her family are also on this family tree). According to Pages of Testimony submitted to Yad Vashem by his daughter - the noted historian and art critic Edith Hoffmann Yapou - this is the case; circumstances and dates revealed by my own research as well as other Holocaust-related documentation support this conclusion.

Even after termination from his job in Vienna in 1938 (because he was a Jew) and other obvious warning signs of the impending Nazi menace, he elected to return to Prague where he retired to his apartment to write. Kamil and his wife were deported to Terezín in 1942 and murdered in the gas chambers immediately upon arrival at Auschwitz in 1944. With the Nazis' seizure of power in 1933, his daughter fled to Britain from her home in Berlin. Last residence, Na Balkáně 315, Prague.

Eduard was the son of Josef and Františka (née Gottliebová) Humburger. He appears to have been born in Dachov, Moravia but probably lived in Zájezdec (not far from Pardubice) before he moved to Prague. He married the former Hermine Bondyová, and evidently they had no children. Eduard was a representative for the firm M & J Soyka based in Karlín, a company in which his father-in-law served as a principal. Note the "Familien Nachrichten" section of the 24 October newspaper, which contains an announcement of his death tendered by the Verein der Prager Geschäftsreisenden, or the Prague Business Travelers' Association. The notice simply states that Mr. Humburger was a longtime member of the Association and that all of his colleagues are invited to participate in the funeral, set to take place betwen the daytime hours of 11 and 12 at the New Jewish Cemetery.

Angelus was the eldest child of Samuel and Rosalia (née Ungerová) Kafka. He was apparently from Osek, a municipality of/outside of Teplice, even though his father was from Radošovice, quite a distance away. He was the principal in his own firm, a company which had diverse business interests including real estate and land development, apartments and condos (as landlords), and wine wholesaling. He was also politically active in Prague. Angelus married the former Anna Wilhartitzová and had 6 children. Services for his death were held at a Plattnersgaße number 89 in Prague - a funeral home. It's not clear what the modern corresponding address is. No further information is currently available.

Kafka, Samuel [b. c.1812, Radošovice, Bohemia - d. 2.9.1895, Prague] Police Conscription Document Police Conscription Document Obituary, Prager Tagblatt, 3 September 1895
Samuel originated in Radošovice, near Strakonice, and was married to the former Rosalia Ungerová. Together they had 8 children. At the time of his death he was a private citizen living in Prague, but during his productive years he may have been involved in the land trade (as was his son Angelus). His obituary indicates he died from "marasmus," a sort of umbrella disorder that whose symptoms include severe malnutrition and vitamin deficiency, but whose causes can be related to a panoply of other conditions. It's interesting to note that Osek, where his son Angelus lived (and may have been born), is quite a distance from Radošovice, so it's not clear where the family were originally from. No further information is currently available.

Klinger, Artur [b. 4.2.1885, Kouřim, Bohemia - d. c.1944, Auschwitz, Poland] Police Conscription Document Police Conscription Document
Arthur was one of 12 children belonging to Karel and Marie (née Lustigová) Klinger. His personal conscription document does not show him as married because it was recorded when he was only 18, indicating that he had already left home and struck out on his own. Artur was married first to Gusti (née Kleinová) of Klučov, Bohemia. He had two sons with Gusti before she passed away from pneumonia at only 24 years of age - less than one week after the birth of their second son Gustav Zdeněk. Presumably not long afterward, Artur remarried Irma Faktorová, and they had a daughter - Miluška. Four of the immediate family members were killed in the Holocaust, but Miluška's fate is not known at this time. Last residence: Boleslavská 4, Prague. Note: Klučov is not far from Pečky where Artur's brother Hugo lived.

Arnošt, the youngest of 8 children, was like his father a butcher in Prague.  His Brit Mila took place on 27.10.1896 in his parents' home at Vršovice 18 in Vinohrady.  He married Irma Fischelová and had at least two children. His son Josef was born just weeks after the death of his father, and as was traditional Jewish practice, was named for him.  Notes: What is now Vršovice 18 is a building on Ruská ulice, but the building that was formerly Vršovice 18 was owned by Arnošt's father (and later by his brother Rudolf (1881)) is actually Vršovice 490 on Charkovská street. The transports to Auschwitz on 26.1.1943 are considered death transports because almost nobody on those transports survived the Shoah. Last residence: Přemyslova 18, Prague.

One of 12 children of Karel and Marie (née Lustigová) Klinger. Emil was a tenant farmer (Gutspächter) in Kluky, a town outside of Pisek in southern Bohemia. He married Kamilla (Unknown) and together they had three children. His obituary indicates he died in Kluky but is buried in the Časlav Jewish cemetery - nearly halfway across Bohemia from Písek. The basic research I've conducted reveals both his wife and son Josef were killed in the Holocaust. The fate of his other two children is unknown. No further information is currently available.

Klinger, František [b. 15.5.1915, Vršovice (Prague) - d. 31.3.1945, Buchenwald, Germany] Deportation Card "Personal" card issued at concentration camp Buchenwald "Labor" card issued at concentration camp Buchenwald "Office" card issued at concentration camp Buchenwald "Numeral" card issued at concentration camp Buchenwald "Numeral" card issued at concentration camp Buchenwald
František was the eldest of my grandmother's three brothers. Their parents were Rudolf and Milada (née Oesterreicherová) Klinger. František was most likely born at Ruská 20, but it's possible that he was born elsewhere in Prague. Prior to the war, František shared a flat with his brother Karel in Prague, but he was arrested and deported almost two months earlier. František was a butcher like his grandfather and some other relatives. He was arrested by the Gestapo in Prague and deported immediately to the Terezín concentration camp on 24 November 1941 - the earliest known deportation of Czech Jews to Terezín, and the only "Ak" transportee in the entire family tree.

František married Elly Bocková while in the Terezín ghetto on 12 June 1942. Elly survived the Holocaust and emigrated to Israel. František languished in Terezín for nearly three years before being deported to Auschwitz on 1 October 1944. Sometime following his arrival in Auschwitz in October 1944, František was deported west to Gross-Rosen, from where he was finally sent to Buchenwald. He died there on 31 March 1945, shortly before the Allies liberated that camp.

Here is František's ostensible chain of movements from initial deportation to his death:

Prague →  Terezín :  24 November 1941, with the Aufbaukommando (hence "Ak-1" on the deportation card)
Terezín →  Auschwitz  : 1 October 1944
Auschwitz  →  Groß-Rosen  :  Unknown (date of transfer not recorded)
Groß-Rosen  →  Buchenwald  : Unknown (date of transfer not recorded); arrived Buchenwald 10 February 1945  
Death: Probably 31 March 1945; cause of death not recorded.

Some notes on the Ak-1 and Ak-2 transports, taken from the "History of Ghetto Theresienstadt" page:

The first Jews, who were brought to Theresienstadt on November 24, 1941, were 342 men who were housed in the Sudeten barracks on the west side of the old garrison, from where one can see the Sudeten mountain range near the border between Germany and the Czech Republic. This first transport, called the Aufbaukommando, was brought there to prepare the 10 barracks buildings for the rest of the Jews who would soon follow. On December 4, 1941 another transport of 1,000 Jews who were to form the Jewish "self-government" of the ghetto was sent to Theresienstadt. These two early transports became known as AK1 and AK2.

Last residence uncertain, but probably: Přemyslová 425/12, Prague, with his brother Karel.

The eldest son of Karel and Marie (née Lustigová) Klinger, and the first of 12. I have no specific information on Gustav's life, but there is a Gustav Klinger in the Czech Holocaust Archive with an 1871 birthdate that might be the same person. If our Gustav and the one in the Holocaust Archive are the same, then his wife would have been Kamila Klingerová, born 1.7.1876. Čelákovice is relatively close to Prague, even closer to the city than Kolín or Třebovle. Assuming the connection is valid, I've included this Gustav Klinger as a probable match.

Hugo was the eldest child of Josef and Marie Klinger.  He was a medical doctor. He lived in Ustí nad Labem, but he married Ela Bergweinová on 6 October 1907 at the Hotel de Saxe in Prague. They subsequently returned to Ustí nad Labem and had three daughters.  Hugo and his entire family were murdered in the Holocaust. Last residence: Sámova 410, Prague.

Notes: There is some confusion about their daughter Gertrude. She is mentioned (as Trude Klinger) in her grandmother Frieda's obituary, and also in some second-hand documentation I have from the Jewish Museum in Prague, but the good folks at the International Tracing Service have indicated that the Gertrude Klinger listed on that document was actually a different Gertrude Klinger. I've posted the limited information I have here.

Karel was the eldest son of Leopold and Anna (née Löwyová) Klinger. Karel and his wife Marie (née Lustigová) were prolific and had 12 children. Unfortunately I don't have much information on this family yet. From the conscription document it appears that he was a businessman (geschaftsmann). Karel was the brother of my great-great-grandfather Josef Klinger. He and his wife are buried in the New Jewish Cemetery in Prague as are Josef and his wife.

Karel was the middle of my grandmother's three brothers, born to Rudolf and Milada Klinger.  He was born in Vršovice, probably at Ruská 20 as were the rest of his siblings, and lived with his brother František..  He was a farmer or agronomist, having studied at a farming school in Roudnice nad Labem.. His uncle Leopold and his father were both very prominent cattle dealers in Prague and owned huge farming areas in Malešice and Štěrboholy, so his interest in farming isn't surprising. Karel was arrested by the Gestapo on 27.1.1942 in Prague and deported to Terezín on 30.1.1942, where he languished for two-and-a-half years before being sent to Auschwitz on 28.9.1944. Karel was finally deported to the west on 10.10.1944 to Kaufering III (at Kaufering), one of many subcamps of the Dachau concentration camp where he was forced to work until he died on 25.4.1945 - just days before the camp was liberated.  The date of his death suggests he may have been one of thousands (along with his brother Zdeněk who died one day before him) to be "evacuated" from the Landsberg/Kaufering subcamps on what amounted to death marches toward the Dachau main camp. Without food, water, or medicine on these marches, many of the prisoners who were already malnourished and weak simply expired. From the official Dachau concentration camp book:

      "Only a few days before the arrival of the American troops, the Kaufering prisoners were marched off or transported with trains in the direction       of Dachau. Only those prisoners who were unfit to be transported remained behind. Many prisoners died of exhaustion, were shot by guards,       or lost their lives during air raids."

Karel's prisoner card says "Sch. J." which means Schutzhaft, Jüden - a Jewish prisoner in "protective custody."  Prisoner number 116032.  Last residence: Pod Pekařkou 425, although notably his deporation card says "Podoli Přemyslova 425/12."

Karel and his brother Zdeněk were able to stay together through Terezín, Auschwitz, and the circuit of transfers which resulted in their imprisonment at Kaufering III. They were also able to remain at least reasonably close to their uncle Leopold. Both brothers were assigned to barracks number 22 at Kaufering III. Also from the Dachau book:

      "In the winter of 1944 almost all of the prisoners...in Kaufering No. 3 and No. 4 worked in the Mohl woods, building an underground factory.       Roll call with its endless beatings took place at dusk. The trip [to the site], across a bitterly cold frost, through snow, through knee-deep snow,       lasted a few hours. Weakened, we reached the woods. We shivered from cold, from hunger and from exhaustion. That was only the beginning       of the torture. We worked out in the open with hardly any light. People fell from the scaffolding, froze in the snow, fell into an abyss unnoticed."

Klinger, Leopold (1819) [b. 1819 - Chodov (Prague) - d. 19.7.1885, Uhříněves (Prague) ] Police Conscription Document Obituary, Prager Tagblatt, 20 July 1885
Leopold was married to the former Anna Löwyová and was the father of Karel, Josef, Rosa, and Marie. There may have been another child who died as an infant but this is speculative because my documentation is incomplete. Under "kinder" on the conscription document, it appears to say "Karolina" with the symbol for deceased (resembles a "plus" sign) directly adjacent to it. It appears that Leopold was some kind of butcher. Leopold passed away in 1885; according to the obituary his funeral took place in a funeral home in Uhříněves, on the outskirts of Prague. The obituary says something like "He died in Uhříněves after long suffering in the 66th year of his devout life." Evidently his wife, who survived him by almost exactly 6 years, is buried next to him.

Klinger, Leopold (1890) [b. 15.9.1890 Vršovice 18 (Prague) - d. 18.2.1945, Erpfting, Germany] Leopold, Eliška, Marie, and Zdeňka Klinger Klinger Family, c. 1928 Štěrboholy 135 - Leopold's Villa Klinger and Vesely Memorial Deportation Card "Office" card issued at Kaufering (Dachau) concentration camp
Leopold was the second-youngest child of Josef and Marie Klinger.  He was called Polda in the family. He had a rust-colored, wooly kind of hair, and was hard of hearing. He was born in Vršovice 18, and had his Brit Mila on 22.9.1890 at Vršovice 19, presumably an adjacent building. He married Eliška Veselá on 30.11.1919 at the Hotel Bristol in Prague, and they subsequently had two daughters.

Like his elder brother Rudolf, Leopold was a livestock trader and businessman. He was a tenant in a villa in Štěrboholy, which he later purchased. That building is at Ústřední 135/15, and is now the Prague 10 municipal office. He also owned a significant amount of land in Štěrboholy which was used to manage his hundreds of head of cattle. Leopold and his brother Rudolf often went to Senovážné square to the crop exchange, and also for the slaughter of their cattle. Reportedly he and Rudolf had a tendency to quarrel, especially when it came to their business affairs; even though they had a difficult relationship, they were estranged from some of other their brothers and sisters.  Leopold was reportedly strict, authoritative, and demanding to a fairly extreme degree and Rudolf was apparently a good deal worse.   

Three weeks before they were deported, a "trustee" working for the Nazis in the Protectorate came to catalogue all of their belongings. The day they were deported, Leopold and his family were told to report to Veletržní palác, where all of the Jews were gathered.

Leopold, like his nephews Karel and Zdeněk Klinger, was transferred out of Auschwitz and made his way through the concentration camp system. At the end of the war, some Jews were transferred west for the express purpose of providing the Nazis with slave labor to build weapons or serve the Reich in some other way. Leopold was transferred with his nephews, from Auschwitz to Kaufering III (at Kaufering) on 10 October 1944. Jews were brought into Kaufering III to build the facilities the Nazis used to produce the Me-262 jet fighter. Leopold was subsequently transferred to the Kaufering VII camp (at Erpfting) - originally a labor camp but eventually a camp where sick and invalid Jews were deposited in horrendous conditions and left to die - on 7 January 1945, where he remained until his death, probably from typhoid, on 18 February 1945. It appears that the three Klinger men were able to stay reasonably close together - they left Auschwitz together and were assigned to the Kaufering III camp.

It is worth noting that on some Holocaust-era documents, Leopold's date of birth is listed as 1900. This is most probably because he lied to the authorities to make them think he was younger in order to increase his chances for survival. Leopold's wife and children were murdered in the gas chambers at Auschwitz in 1943, during his imprisonment there. Last residence: Štěrboholy 135, Prague.

The Prague city council saw fit to commission a war memorial in memory of brave fighters from World War I, and to Czech Holocaust victims. The Klinger and Vesely familes, decimated by the Holocaust, have their names engraved on a small monument located across from the main villa, formerly part of Leopold's farmland and what is now a park and residential area.

Police Conscription Documents frequently list incorrect birthdates, so the birthdate of 1878 is in question.  I believe 1876 is the correct birthdate, because the Czech Holocaust archive has his sister Olga and her husband Rudolf Seidl at the same address, "care of Klinger," and Rudolf and his wife were the only Klingers in the building. Rudolf was married to Rudolfina (Unknown). Last residence: Kelleyova 6, Prague. The address no longer exists.

Klinger, Rudolf (1881) [b. 23.6.1881, Šeberov (Prague) - 1.4.1942, Ruská 20/562, Vršovice, Prague]   Police Conscription Document Police Conscription Document Marriage Announcement, Prager Tagblatt, 25 October 1908 Rudolf's death card - Czech Archives Klinger Family, c. 1928 Rudolf Klinger death record, retreived from the Czech National Archives, January 2011.
My great-grandfather and son of Josef and Marie Klinger. Rudolf was probably born in Šeberov. Unfortunately I have very little information about Rudolf, but I do know that he was a wealthy landowner and cattle farmer and dealer. He had a large cattle farm in Malešice where he kept a manor, and quite a number of real estate holdings throughout Prague, other parts of Bohemia, and Dresden. Like his brother Leopold, Rudolf was known to be quarrelsome in business affairs and was estranged from his brothers and sisters. Interestingly, Rudolf passed away in Prague (on his wife's 54th birthday, no less) before he could be deported. According to records I located in the Czech National Archives, Rudolf was indeed cremated following his death. As you can see from the death record (link above), Rudolf died from acute arteriosclerosis and pulmonary edema. That probably means he had a heart attack.

Redacted 3 July 2011:
My father and sister have indicated that they spread his ashes into the Atlantic Ocean along with my grandmother's in 1994, but I believe this is questionable for two reasons. As a matter of course, Jews do not cremate their deceased. Also, I believe my grandmother and father left Prague before 1 April 1942, so I'm not sure how they would have come across his ashes or remains. It's a mystery.  

It is my understanding that Rudolf and my grandmother were extremely close. He made it clear that my grandmother was forbidden from leaving the country, even as the grip of the Nazi regime tightened around the Czech throat. When she elected to do so their relationship was effectively over. Rudolf passed away at Ruská 20/562, where he was living with my great-grandmother Milada (née Oesterreicherová). She was deported to Terezín only a month later and was ultimately sent to the gas chamber in Auschwitz. They had 5 children.

Klinger, Zdeněk [b. 11.10.1921, Vršovice (Prague) - d. 24.4.1945, Kaufering, Germany]  Deportation Card Terezín to Auschwitz transport log Dachau Camp Prisoner Record (Front) Kaufering Prisoner Card Dachau Prisoner Death Book  
Zdeněk was the youngest child of Rudolf and Milada Klinger. He was an automobile electrician by trade until he was arrested by the Gestapo on 12.4.1941 and deported immediately to Terezín. Even with severe diabetes, apparently developed during childhood and one of the main reasons he continued to live with his parents, Zdeněk was able to survive squalor and privation in Terezín for almost three years. On 28.9.1944, Zdeněk was deported to Auschwitz where he stayed until being sent on to Kaufering III (at Kaufering), a Dachau subcamp, on 10.10.1944. Zdeněk and his brother Karel were on the same transports, and were evidently able to stay together until their deaths. Like his brother Karel, Zdeněk nearly survived until the end of the war. He passed away on 23.4.1945, probably in the same manner as his older brother, just days before the Allies liberated Dachau.

The date of his death suggests he may have been one of thousands (along with his brother Karel who died one day after him) to be "evacuated" from the Landsberg/Kaufering subcamps on what amounted to death marches toward the Dachau main camp. Without food, water, or medicine on these marches, many of the prisoners who were already malnourished and weak simply expired.

His prisoner card says "Sch. J." which means Schutzhaft, Jüden - a Jewish prisoner in "protective custody." His prisoner number was 115238. Last residence: Ruská 20, Prague.

Camilla was the eldest daughter of Josef and Marie (née Fischelová) Klinger, and I believe my grandmother was named after her. She married Julius Haim in Prague, probably in 1900. As far as I'm aware they had no children. The list of in-laws and relatives in her obituaries is extensive and very informative. Besides her brothers and sisters, her parents-in-law (Emanuel and Ernestine Haim), her sisters-in-law (Paula Neumannová, Anna Silbersternová, Ella Klingerová, and Marie and Berta Haimová), and other in-laws (Emil Haim, Oskar Neumann, Emil Kummermann, Adolf Fuchs, Arnold Hájek, Siegmund Silberstern, and Josef and Rudolf Haim) are all included. Camilla was very popular and loved by many people judging by the tenor of the obituary and of the follow-up listing in the 14 December 1907 newspaper announcement. The 14 December announcement includes thanks to two doctors, Dr. Ernst Weitzbarth and Dr. Julius Kellner for their "loving treatment," as well as important and notable recognitions by the Jewish Community of Michle and the Emperor Franz Josef Jubilee Temple (picture, c.1939) of Vienna. The latter is also known as the Jubiläum or Synagogue Siebenbrunnengasse.

The Neumann and Silberstern families are connected by marriage through Julius Haim's sisters, Paula and Anna. Paula was married to Oskar Neumann, and Anna was married to Siegmund Silberstern. I haven't found any Police Conscription records for any of those folks yet.

Edita was the elder daugher of Hugo and Ela (née Bergweinová) Klinger. By the time the war rolled around she had married and divorced Arnošt Bienenfeld, about whom I've found no documentation. Her application for "General Civil Identification" shows that her former husband was an engineer, and that she was considered a "private" citizen as well as a Ph.D.  It appears that she had no children, and that by the time of her deporation she had moved back in with her parents and younger sister Mariana. The same identification form describes the following information: her physical attributes, shows that she is listed in the Jewish registry of Ustí nad Labem as of 21.7.1908 (a birth record), that she filed a housing application in 1939 in what appears to be the Hradčany district of Prague, that she was married in Ustí on 19 March 1933, and that a proof of divorce certificate exists in Litoměřice as of 27 January 1936. It also appears that she formerly lived in Plzeň, presumably with her ex-husband.  Edita perished in Auschwitz. Last residence: Sámova 410, Prague.

Klingerová, Gertrude [b. 20.8.1904, ?, Bohemia - d. 2.2.1944, Auschwitz, Poland]  Terezín Ghetto Death Notification for Dr. Leopold Reimann

28 Dec 2009: After speaking with the ITS, they believe that Gertrude was in fact the daughter of Dr. Reimann and not my relative, so the information passed along to me by the Czech Jewish community was probably incorrect. Additionally, the information from the Czech folks came through at least two other sets of hands before it got to me - sometimes there's a little confusion or mistakes are made in these cases. This Gertrude would have been born Gertrude Reimannová, and married Klinger (possibly a relative of mine, but it's not clear who). The following has been updated to reflect the new information. I'm keeping Gertrude on the page out of respect for her memory. The ITS case is still open.

*  *  *

The details surrounding Gertrude's living situation and fate during the Nazi occupation and Holocaust are sketchy and confusing. I have a letter dated 13.5.1991 from the Council of Jewish Religious Communities in Czech Repulic, Prague, to a barrister in Israel which says Gertrude was arrested by the Gestapo 9.6.1943 and deported to Terezín, then deported to Auschwitz on 17.7.1943.  There are a number of inconsistencies present in the available information. 1) There is no listing in the Czech Holocaust archives for a Gertrude Klingerová, or any variation on that name.  2) The Yad Vashem victims' database does have a listing for a Gertruda Klinger with her birthdate, but they have no specific information on her fate. 3) The Last Residence address specified in the 1991 letter matches the address of a Dr. Leopold Reimann and his wife Otilie. Curiously, the Czech archives have a Notification of Death document for Dr. Reimann (perished in the Terezín Ghetto due to pleuritis and acute enteritis) on which Trude Klinger is listed as his daughter, also an internee at the Terezín Ghetto. The Ghetto was not part of the actual concentration camp; the town of Terezín was previously turned into a Ghetto. 4) A request made to the ITS in Bad Arolsen, Germany regarding Gertrude Klinger was returned saying they were unable to locate any information on her.  I still have a case open with the ITS, so perhaps they'll come up with something. Last residence: Mělnická 8 , Prague.

Klingerová, Hermine (1872) [b. c.1872, Otice, Bohemia - d. c. 1943, Auschwitz, Poland ?] Police Conscription Document
Hermine was one of the 12 children belonging to Karel and Marie (née Lustigová) Klinger. She married (Unknown) Stein.  I believe she was killed in the Holocaust, most probably at Auschwitz. The Czech Holocaust archive has two Hermine Steinovás, either of which may be her. One was born in late 1871, the other in late 1873. Based on her grandfather's obituary, it appears she had a son called Friedrich (Czech: Bedřich) Stein. A person with that name who fits in the age bracket was also from Prague 10 and also died in the Holocaust. I'm currently investigating this possibility. No other information is currently available.

Other notes: Deportation to Łódź (a Jewish ghetto created by the Nazis) is noteworthy. Deportation of Czech Jews had barely begun at this early date. Łódź was the first eastward destination for many Jews from Czechoslovakia; many of those who ended up there were subsequently deported to the death camp at Chelmno where they were asphyxiated by truck exhaust in the back of crude "gas vans." Many others died in the squalid, disease-ridden ghetto from acute malnutrition or any number of illnesses. The Chelmno (also known as Kulmhof) death camp became operational in December, 1941.

A daughter of Josef and Marie Klinger. She married Arnold Hájek they lived in Holešovice (formerly Holešice) in Prague.  They had two sons and a daughter, and the entire family were able to escape to Palestine during the war. It's possible that Arnold Hájek was not Jewish and as such the family were left alone. When they returned to Czechoslovakia after the war, they found they weren't able to reclaim their property and again left when the Communists took over in 1948. Some of the family ended up in Israel and some went to Australia. There are living descendants in both places, including Gadi and Dani Propper who are known for their association with the Jewish foods company Osem and other ventures.

My grandmother.  The only surviving chlid of Rudolf and Milada Klinger, and the only Shoah survivor from her immediate family.  My family always knew her as "Milda," a curious play on her mother's name. Like many other Czech grandmothers or elder women, we grew up calling her "Babi." She married my grandfather Otto Günstling on 17.2.1932 in Staroměstská in Prague, and later had my father - an only child. I don't have Czech divorce records yet, but they certainly had a divorce within a very few years following the birth of my dad. In c.1939, my grandmother was able to secure a way out of the country (using her considerable wealth, contained in at least one coach or rail car) with my father in tow, and they escaped to England as part of a ~14,000 person group of expatriates under the protection of the British government (See this page for more information).  While it appears that they traveled with Otto Fischer (b. 16.11.1906 in Rychnov nad Kněžnou) in order to faciliate the move, Fischer apparently did not marry my grandmother until May or June of 1944. At this time I have no details on their marriage or any other arrangements between them.

It's worth nothing that while in England my grandmother maintained her contacts with the Masaryk family, particularly Jan and Alice Masaryk, as well as one of my grandfather's second cousins, Elsa Günstlingová, the latter from Prague but an Austrian expatriate. My grandmother kept in contact with Alice until the latter passed away in the United States in the 1960's. According to my records, Elsa died in London on 3 October 1948 at about 67 years of age. Elsa also arrived in England in 1939 on an official permit of some kind.

My grandmother and father returned to Czechoslovakia in October of 1945, but were preceded by Otto Fischer who settled in at Ruská 20 about a month earlier. My father and grandmother were reacquainted with my grandmother's auntie Pavla Kropáček, who lived just across the street at Ruská 18.  My father has also mentioned having a cousin, but it's not clear who this might have been as all of Pavla's children were evidently lost in the Shoah. Pavla herself was interned in Terezín for some time before being released. All of the other family that my father knew, including his own father, had been taken away and murdered at concentration camps throughout Europe.  [A side note about the Kropáček connection: Tomáš Masarýk's mother was born Therezie Kropáčková, and my grandmother's husband Karl Kropáček, a Roman Catholic, may have been related to her.] During this brief return to Czechoslovakia, my grandmother and father also stayed at Štěrboholy 4, which at that time was part of Leopold's villa.   At some point between late 1945 and early 1948 my grandmother and father apparently lived at Pšstrossova 11 in Staré Město, in a building which is now an elementary school. By 1946, my father was either legally adoped by Fischer or his surname was changed to Fischer; it's not clear what the exact circumstances were. Some time before her final exile, my grandmother and Otto Fischer were divorced. Fischer returned to England and remarried Eliška Adler in 1947; he became a naturalized British citizen and I believe they had at least one son who is still alive and living in London.

When the Communists overtook Czechoslovakia in 1948, my grandmother was again compelled to leave the country. According to some second-hand information I received, in 1948 she was issued a permit to travel to Paraguay and she did so very quickly.  My father reported that he and his mother were stopped by the Communists on the absolute last transport out of the country and that they nearly didn't get out, even though they had travel papers. Around this time my grandmother remarried for a third time, to a Czech named Jaroslav Burian - evidently the friend of one of her brothers. The three may have traveled through France, and then onto South America. My father and grandmother ended up in Caracas, Venezuela and some surrounding areas where they survived for a number of years before coming to the United States.    Eventually my father was sponsored by some of my grandmother's friends in the U.S., and he was able to come to the States, finish high school, join the military, and finally to graduate from university with a bachelor's and a master's degree in record time. My grandmother divorced Burian in 1961, and worked as a travel agent in Florida. For the rest of her life she traveled around the world, and even lived in Nice, France for some years. She returned to the United States in about 1990 and lived in Florida until her death in 1994 from acute coronary disease. She was a lifetime smoker and used to consume Pall Mall nonfilters and coffee in seeming perpetuity.

I have very fond memories of visiting my grandmother in Florida, and of her coming to visit our family in California, the latter fairly regularly. When we were little, Babi used to let my sister and me pack her cigarettes into her silver cigarette case. Pall Mall cigarettes have a very distinctive smell and so did her plain, brushed metal Zippo lighter. She used to drink black coffee and not much else, and didn't like or was allergic to milk. I also remember that my grandmother had beautiful, elegant hands with long, slender fingers. She was borderline obsessive about caring for her fingernails, and she traveled with a small kit for maintaining them. I remember seeing her execute the ritual on numerous occasions. You've never seen a more perfect set of natural fingernails in your life. Interestingly, everyone in my family is quite attentive to their fingernails. My grandmother remains one of my greatest heroes.

Mariana was the youngest daughter of Hugo and Ela (née Bergweinová) Klinger.  Mariana was a seamstress. She was arrested by the Gestapo in Prague on 24 October 1942 and sent directly to Terezín. Mariana was then deported to Auschwitz on 26.10.1942 where she was immediately sent to the gas chamber. Last residence: Sámova 410, Prague.

Klingerová, Marie (1846) [b. c.1846, Kunratice (Prague) - d. 14.6.1892, Uhřiněves (Prague)] Obituary, Prager Tagblatt, 14 June 1892 Obituary, Prager Tagblatt, 14 June 1892
The eldest child of Leopold and Anna (née Löwyová) Klinger, and the sister of my great-great-grandfather Josef. Marie married Moritz Rezek and they had at least 10 children. She is buried in the Uhřiněves Jewish cemetery along with both of her parents, her husband, and other Rezeks who are presumably family members. I visited that cemetery in January, 2011 and took some photographs. Unfortunately the cemetery is in disrepair; combined with the foot of snow on the ground at the time, we didn't have much luck finding graves of interest. No further information is currently available.

Notes:

1) The date of birth I've given is presumptive. Her obituary indicates she was 45 years of age at the time of her death; if that is true it must be that she was born in the second half of 1846 since her brother Karel was born in December of 1847.   Also, this might mean Marie was very young - maybe 16 or 17 - when she started having children.

2) The obituary incorrectly lists one of her sisters-in-law as Marie née Polaček, wife of her brother Karel. It's not clear how this mistake could have come to pass. Every other name is absolutely consistent with the rest of the family tree. Other obituaries for immediate family members have her brothers' respective spouses listed correctly.

3) Moritz and Marie's family connects the Lustig I and Lustig II lines on this family tree. Her daughter Karolina married Samuel Lustig, son of Bernard Lustig while Marie's siblings Karel and Rosa Klinger married children of Simon Lustig. It is not clear if the lines of Bernard and Simon are blood relatives, but it's at least a possibility. The following facts increase the probability that Bernard and Simon are relatives, possibly brothers: a) they are only 7 years apart and b) Bernard was married in Kolín in 1848 & Simon lived in Kouřim around the same time (those towns are close to one another and many other Klinger relatives lived and died in both places).

The family were separated and Marie and her sister Zdeňka were deported to Auschwitz on 26 January 1943 where they were immediately "selected" for the gas chamber.  The transports to Auschwitz on 26.1.1943 are considered death transports because almost nobody on those transports survived the Shoah.  Last residence: Štěrboholy 135, Prague.

They had two children. Adolf passed away in 1927. The Czech Holocaust archive has her at "NC 410" which is a refrerence to Vršovice 410; this is a roundabout way of saying she also lived at Sámova 410 in Vršovice, with or perhaps after her brother Hugo and his family. They were deported on different transports and on different dates. Last residence, Sámova 410, Prague.

Klingerová, Olga (1890) [b. 13.12.1890, Prague(?) - d. c.1941, Łódź / Chelmno, Poland]  Police Conscription Document
Olga was one of the 12 children belonging to Karel and Marie (née Lustigová) Klinger. It isn't clear where she was born, but most likely it was in Prague.  She married Dr. Rudolf Seidl and they lived in the same building as her brother Rudolf and his wife.  It is not clear if they had any children. There was no evident holdover at Terezín for either Olga or her husband - they were routed straight to Łódź.  Last residence: Kelleyova 6, Prague. The address no longer exists.

Other notes: Deportation to Łódź (a Jewish ghetto created by the Nazis) is noteworthy. Deportation of Czech Jews had barely begun at this early date. Łódź was the first eastward destination for many Jews from Czechoslovakia; many of those who ended up there were subsequently deported to the death camp at Chelmno where they were asphyxiated by truck exhaust in the back of crude "gas vans." Many others died in the squalid, disease-ridden ghetto from acute malnutrition or any number of illnesses. The Chelmno (also known as Kulmhof) death camp became operational in December, 1941.

A daughter of Josef and Marie Klinger, she was known as Pavla in the family.  Pavla's first husband was Emil Kummermann, with whom she had three children. According to police conscription documents, she lived in Kutná Hora at some point, presumably with Emil who was from Lomec (a tiny village in the same area). Emil passed away c.1920's (at the latest) leaving her a widow. At some later date she married Karl Kropáček, an engineer and a Roman Catholic. I am fairly certain she remained married to Karl until well after the war and possibly until her death.  Evidently all three of Pavla's children were killed in the Shoah. Pavla was interned in the Terezín Ghetto on 7.11.1941 under category "Jüdin," but she was not deported to any other death or concentration camp, probably because of her marriage to a Roman Catholic.  She was later released, whether during or after the war is not clear, and returned to Ruská 18 in Vršovice. Note: "Mixed" marriages were extremely unusual, but I have read that during those horrible times women sometimes agreed to reject their Judaism in order to save their own lives or the lives of their children.  My father apparently visited and stayed with her at some point following the war.

The second husband of Pavla Klingerová. He was an engineer and most probably a Roman Catholic. The police conscription document shows a Karl Kropáček, engineer, but this is not definitively the same person. I've included it as a likely possibility. The Shoah image links above shows the Terezín internment card belonging to his wife - Karl is mentioned on the reverse. I have no other information on the life or fate this person.

Emil was the first husband of Pavla Klingerová. He originated in "Gross Lomec near Kuttenberg" according to the conscription document; that would make him from a tiny village (hardly "gross," or groß in German) outside of Kutná Hora. Emil and Pavla had three children. It appears that they were married until he passed away sometime after 1920. There are quite a number of other Kummermanns in the Czech Police Conscription archive, but only a few of them may be related to Emil. Possible siblings: Gustav and Hermina.

Wife of Leopold Klinger (1819), Anna is my 3rd-great grandmother and matriarch of the modern Klinger family. Anna was born in the village of Šeberov, just next to Kunratice where her husband was born. According to the police conscription document, Leopold and Anna lived Karlín number 284 in 1882. They later returned to Kunratice, where I believe they both passed away. Her Jewish name was "Gala."  Services for her passing were held at the Villa Morgenstern funeral home in Vršovice, but she was buried in Uhříněves next to her husband. Note the incorrect birthdate on the police conscription document. No further information is currently available.

A son of Simon and Theresia (née Steinerová) Lustig, Josef also was the husband of Rosa Klingerová. I haven't been able to translate his occupation on the police conscription document yet, however his father's obituary indicates Josef was a tenant famer. According to his own obituary, he was a "gewesener Gutspächter" or a former tenant farmer in Dvur Rtanov (a relatively large tract of land dedicated to agriculture) outside of Chlumec nad Cidlinou. His origin is somewhat ambiguous, but the sole police conscription document seems to indicate he was from Jičín or Češov. It is possible that the indicated birthplace of Jičín is incorrect and that he simply lived there at some point prior to or during the early part of his marriage. Josef is buried in the Kadaň Jewish cemetery, presumably in the same plot as his wife.

Josef was evidently the only child of Emil and Olga (née Unknown) Lustig. Remarkably, he shares the same name as his grandfather - usual Jewish practice is to name children only after the deceased. Josef was deported from Štěrboholy, where he lived with his parents and my grandmother's uncle Leopold's family. Based on the date of second transport, it should be assumed that Josef was sent directly to the gas chamber upon his arrival at Auschwitz. No further information is currently available.

Simon is the eldest member of the Lustig line directly attached to the Klinger line. He and his grandchildren through his daughter Marie and son Josef are all relatively close blood relatives of mine. No biographical information is known, besides that which is contained in his obituary. That announcement indicates he passed away (from old age) in Přistoupim, but was buried in the Jewish cemetery in Kouřim presumably with his wife, Theresie née Steiner, who he survived by some 20 years. It's interesting to note that his infant great-grandson Friedrich (Czech: Bedřich) Stein (presumable son of Hermine Klingerová (1872) and husband) is mentioned in the obituary, as well as Hermina's brother Gustav - the eldest of all Simon's grandchildren.

Her origin is ambiguous; the police conscription document appears to have her listed as being from Přebuz, but is also appears to show her from Kolín. Her children were born in Třebovle, Kouřim, and what appears to be Otice; although Třebovle, Kouřim, and Kolín are close to one another, Otice is nearly to the Polish border in the east. Likewise, Přebuz on the German border in the west. Very confusing.  Karel and Marie are buried in the New Jewish Cemetery in Prague so regardless of where they originated, they ultimately passed away in Prague.

Neumannová, Marie [b. c. 1853, Michle (Prague), d. ?] Police Conscription Document
Marie was the former wife of Simon Fischel, the brother of my great-great-grandmother. At this time little is known, except that they had two children together and were officially divorced on 9 March 1889. Note that the police conscription record lists her with an 1853 birthdate and the Simon Fischel census record shows her as born in 1854. Their daughters evidently lived with Marie following the divorce; Marie was at Michle č.286 in 1913 (the last date on the census record) and various other locations in Michle before that, as detailed on the conscription document.

Oesterreicher, Josef [b. c.1844, Brazdím (Brandýs), Bohemia ? - d. 22.11.1918, Brandýs, Bohemia] Obituary, Prager Tagblatt, 24 November 1918
My great-great-grandfather. The whole of the Oesterreicher family were from Brazdím, a little town on the outskirts of Brandýs nad Labem, just northeast of Prague. Josef was a businessman/merchant of some kind. He married the former Salie Picková, about whom I have no information at this time, except her date and place of death. It appears they had only the four children I've specified here. He is buried in the Jewish cemetery in Brandýs along with his wife.

Oesterreicher, Hugo [b. 2.6.1894, Brazdím (Brandýs), Bohemia - d. Valdivia, Chile ? ] Police Conscription Document Police Conscription Document Hugo Oesterreicher's VSJF inquiry
The (only?) son of Josef and Salie (née Picková) Oesterreicher. I believe this is the brother of my great-grandmother Milada Oesterreicherová. The conscription documents show his occupation was "private official." I know for a fact that Hugo escaped to South America prior to or during the war, where he settled and had a family. I still have relatives in Santiago, Chile who run a dental equipment business based in Providencia (a district in Santiago). Other than that, I have no information and have been unable to establish communication with them. So if you're out there Chilean relatives, please give me a call or shoot me an email.

Oesterreicherová, Hermine [b. 25.2.1884, Brazdím (Brandýs), Bohemia - d. c.1943, Auschwitz, Poland]
A daughter of Josef and Salie (née Picková) Oesterreicher. Hermine married Gotthold Freudenfeld and had at least one child. In the family she was called "Herma," a common Czech diminutive for Hermine. No further information is currently available. Last residence, Schlözerova 16, Prague.

According to the sole police conscription document, Rudolf and Malvine had two children, Franz and Benno, but as is clear from Rudolf's obituary the Franz is really Franziska (Fanči)- a daughter. Mistakes such as these are common in police conscription documents. No further information is currently available. Last residence, Veletržní 13, Prague.

Oesterreicherová, Milada [b. 1.4.1888, Brazdím (Brandýs), Bohemia - d. c.1944, Auschwitz, Poland] Police Conscription Document Marriage Announcement, Prager Tagblatt, 25 October 1908 Klinger Family, c. 1928 My Grandmother and Great-Grandmother Hugo Oesterreicher's VSJF inquiry Deportation Card
Milada was my great-grandmother. A daughter of Josef and Salie (née Picková) Oesterreicher, she married Rudolf Klinger on 25.10.1908 at the Hotel Bristol, Prague. She was sometimes known as Milka or Mila in the family. Her family were from just outside of Brandýs and as such I haven't yet found any documentation beyond what I've presented here. We have living relatives in Chile who are descendents of Milada's brother Hugo.  I know that Hugo Oesterreicher was in touch with Milada, Rudolf, and family before the Holocaust, and that he did not know what happened to them. In 1944, he enlisted the services of a Swiss organization to help determine their whereabouts, but I don't know the results of his inquiries. Hugo may have been in touch with Yad Vashem at some point as well. It appears that Milada's husband Rudolf died on her birthday in 1942, about one month before she was deported to Terezín. Last residence: Ruská 20/562 in Vršovice, Prague.

Karel was the youngest of seven children born to Ferdinand and Johanna (née Gross) Oplatka. Note the incorrect name for his mother on one of the two conscription documents (listed incorrectly as Jeannetta). He married Marta Kummermannová on 18 February 1932 in Prague. Apparently they did not have any children. Karel perished in the Holocaust. Last residence, Ruská 4, Prague, with his wife. Ruská 4 was one of a number of buildings which belonged to my great-grandfather Rudolf.

Irma was gassed at Auschwitz upon her arrival in 1944. Last residence, Na Balkáně 315, Prague.

Pereles, Rudolf [b. 1875, Rakovnik, Bohemia - d. 22.8.1934, Prague, Bohemia] Police Conscription Document Obituary, Prager Tagblatt, 25 June 1934
Rudolf was the youngest of 9 children belonging to Moritz and Franziska (née Wienerová) Pereles. Rudolf married Malvine Oesterreicherová, the sister of my great-grandmother. The sole available police conscription document appears to say he was a "Reisender," or traveling salesman, but his obituary indicates he was the director of something called the "Kožní družstvo" in Prague, a term for which I do yet not have a good translation. His mother's obituary from 20 January 1900 indicates Rudolf worked for the firm Pereles & Siegl, not for the (other?) family company Brüder Pereles. According to the same police conscription document Rudolf had two children, Franz and Benno, but as is clear from his obituary Franz is really Franziska (Fanči)- a daughter. Rudolf and Malvine also had two other children. Errors in police conscription documents are relatively common, so there's no reason to believe this disparity is anything but a simple mistake. It's not clear what Rudolf's disposition is, but he's probably buried in the New Jewish Cemetery in Prague. No further information is currently available.

Rezek, Moritz [b. c. 1833, Průhonice (Prague) ? - d. 27.2.1903, Uhřiněves (Prague)] Obituary, Prager Tagblatt, 28 Feb 1903 Grave of Moritz Rezek in the Uhřiněves Jewish cemetery Enhanced photo of grave of Moritz Rezek in the Uhřiněves Jewish cemetery
Based on my usual discovery process and other circumstantial evidence I believe this is the correct Moritz Rezek. He married Marie Klingerová, the older sister of my great-great-grandfather Josef. Together Moritz and Marie had 10 children. Moritz was definitely not an only child but at this time I have no data on his siblings. He was a merchant or businessman. He is buried in the Uhřiněves Jewish cemetery along with a number of other Rezeks; I visited the cemetery in January, 2011 and took some photographs. I have presented the unprocessed photo as well as an enhanced version which more clearly shows the grave inscription. I have not yet attempted to translate the inscription. No further information is currently available.

Apparently there is a David Ellis Rose from England who is a descendant or relative of my Rezeks, but I have been unable to locate him. If you have any connected with David please contact me or ask him to contact me at jb@czechroots.net.

Ella was a daughter of Emanuel and Hedvika (née Guth) Schwenger. She married Leo Lustig and they apparently had one daughter. Their daughter, Irma Marish, submitted Pages of Testimony to the Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum in remembrance of her parents; the place of death for Ella is unclear because the Czech Holocaust Archive list both Leo and Ella as murdered at Auschwitz but the Page of Testimony for Ella indicates she was killed at Treblinka.

Seidl, Rudolf [b. 31.5.1875, ? - d. 30.12.1941, Łódź / Chelmno, Poland]
Medical doctor Rudolf Seidl was the husband of Olga Klingerová (1890). He was killed in the Holocaust.

Other notes: Deportation to Łódź (a Jewish ghetto created by the Nazis) is noteworthy. Deportation of Czech Jews had barely begun at this early date. Łódź was the first eastward destination for many Jews from Czechoslovakia; many of those who ended up there were subsequently deported to the death camp at Chelmno where they were asphyxiated by truck exhaust in the back of crude "gas vans." Many others died in the squalid, disease-ridden ghetto from acute malnutrition or any number of illnesses. The Chelmno (also known as Kulmhof) death camp became operational in December, 1941. Rudolf and Olga were some of the first victims at this death camp. Last residence: Kelleyova 6, Prague. The address no longer exists.

According to the Czech Holocaust archives their last residence was Drahobejlova 60, Prague, but it appears they were deported from Tábor. The Cq transport was one of a number of transports from Terzín to Auschwitz during early 1943; almost none of the prisoners on those trains survived the Holocaust, and most were sent directly to the gas chambers.

Steinerová, Theresia [b. c.1814 - d. 10.9.1884, Kolín, Bohemia] Obituary, Prager Tagblatt, 11 Septermber 1884
Theresia was the wife of Simon Lustig and parents of 5 children including Klinger family members Josef and Marie Lustig.

Her obituary roughly reads, in part: "Her death revealed the will of God, in the 70th year of life in old age. Her mortal remains will be transferred from Kolín to Kouřim on 12 September, where the funeral will be held at 11 o'clock in the morning."

Interestingly, her daughter Eleonore married one Karl Kleiner and her sons Alois and Jakob (his second wife) evidently married two sisters from the Kraus family; neither name is necessarily Jewish. Both names were common to Germanic/Catholic families, even though many Jews also had those names. Jakob's first wife was Anna Bondyová, who was most likely Jewish. Interfaith marriage was rather uncommon so this possibility is worth noting. No further information is currently available.
