Brotmanblog: A Family Journey
Another tragic story. There are times I can barely bring myself to write about what happened to so many of my relatives. Bertha Blumenfeld Fernich was my third cousin, twice removed.
Bertha, the second child of Moses IIB and Sara Blumenfeld, was born in and married Ludwig Fernich in , as we saw. They had two daughters, Jenny, born in , and Else, born in Jenny had married Julius Asser in , and they had two children, Kurt and Lissy, born in and , respectively.
It appears that Bertha&#;s husband Ludwig died sometime before January 18, since he is not included in the marginal note on their marriage record made on that date, which reported that Bertha had had Sara added to her name to identify her asJewish as required by Nazi law. My assumption is that Ludwig must have died or the note would have indicated that Israel had been added to his name. But I’ve been unable to locate an actual death record for Ludwig.
