She was heading to Lexington, Kentucky, according to the ship manifest, 6 and in 1940, she was living with James and Nanette Strause in Fayette, Kentucky and working as a nurse, presumably for their seven year old son.
Liselotte Blumenfeld, the youngest child of Hermann III and Else, immigrated to the US and arrived in New York City on August 5, 1937. 5 Unfortunately, I’ve not yet found any further information about Erich/Eliezer. Shadmon means farm in Hebrew, and according to Erich/Eliezer’s application for naturalization, he was working as a farmer at Ein Harod at that time, as seen in the images above. 4Įrich changed his name in 1948 to Eliezer Shadmon. 3Įrich married Miriam Emerich, daughter of Robert and Hannah Emerich, on April 6, 1941. Erich Blumenfeld immigrated to Palestine on September 13, 1937, and became a naturalized citizen there on December 19, 1939. Hilde died on January 31, 1944, and her five-year-old daughter Hanna on February 11, 1944, according to Yad Vashem.įortunately, Hilde’s two siblings survived the Holocaust. Hilde and her daughter Hanna were also first sent to Westerbork in August 1943 and then to Auschwitz. According to records at Yad Vashem, Hermann and Else were sent to the Westerbork Detention Camp in 1943 and from there deported to Auschwitz where they were both killed on February 11, 1944.

Here are the Amsterdam registration cards for Hilde, Julius, and Hanna that report this information:Īmsterdam City Archives, Archive cards, archive number 30238, inventory number 78īut escaping to Amsterdam did not keep any of them safe. Julius and Hilde were divorced on June 9, 1942, and Julius soon remarried another woman, Margot Pauline Aharon, in July 1942. Hilde and Julius had one child, a daughter Hanna born in Amsterdam on October 12, 1938. Julius was born in Reichensachen, Germany, on December 10, 1908, to Joseph Seelig and Paula Wallach. Hilde had immigrated to Amsterdam in March 1934, and she had married Julius Seelig on April 28, 1937, in Amsterdam. Hermann Blumenfeld III and his wife Elsa were also murdered by the Nazis, as were their daughter Hilde and her family, despite the fact that they all had left Nazi Germany. They were deported on June 11, 1942, from Frankfurt either to the Sobibor death camp and/or to the camp at Majdanek, where they were murdered. Moses IIB’s sister Rosa and her husband Julius Hess were also both killed by the Nazis.
I don’t know what happened to Julius afterwards, but at least he managed to avoid the fate of his parents.
Fortunately, their son Julius escaped to Argentina in 1936. Moses IIB and Sarah were deported to the Litzmannstadt Ghetto in Lodz on October 20, 1941, and died sometime thereafter. Tragically, all three of Meier IIB and Sarchen’s children were murdered in the Holocaust. As of 1933 when Hitler came to power, they were all living in Germany. Meier Blumenfeld IIB, who died in 1922, and his wife Sarchen, who died in 1930, were survived by three of their five children: Moses Blumenfeld III and his wife Sarah Rothschild and their son Julius Hermann Blumenfeld III and his wife Elsa Drucker and their three children, Eric, Hilde, and Liselotte and Rosa Blumenfeld and her husband Julius Hess.
