Elisa was sent to Auschwitz

25.2.09

Elisa Steinhardt

And now I have finally found out what happened to Auntie Elisa:

Steinhardt Elisa

Elisa Steinhardt. During the war was deported with Transport 27 from Drancy to Auschwitz on 02/09/1942. Elisa perished in the Shoah. This information is based on a List of deportation from France found in the Le Memorial de la deportation des juifs de france, Beate et Serge Klarsfeld, Paris 1978.

More about Elisa

Steinhardt Else

Else Steinhart was born in Wien in 1910 to Arthur and Regine. She was a singer. Prior to WWII she lived in Wien, Austria. During the war she was in Wien, Austria. Else perished in the Shoah at the age of 33. This information is based on a Page of Testimony (displayed on left) submitted on 16-Aug-1999 by her relative, a Shoah survivor

Again. The name of Arthur is wrong, unless Isadore - Izzy was his second name. There she is.

But there is a mistake here.

My great grandfather, as I understand it, died before the war. His son was Arthur. Perhaps that was the name people outside the family called him:

But I don't think he perished in the Shoah. Regine was a widow when they came for her in Prague.

Steinhart Arthur

Arthur Steinhart was born in Austria. He was a redaktor and married to Regine nee Neumann. Prior to WWII he lived in Wien, Austria. During the war he was in Wien, Austria. Arthur perished in the Shoah. This information is based on a Page of Testimony (displayed on left) submitted on 16-Aug-1999 by his relative, a Shoah survivor.

The address is the same for all three Steinhardts.

Mom and granny left France for South Africa on Checkoslovakian passports.

Aerogramme from Lisa and Richard

To: Mr & Mrs J. Hall, Box 49 Eikenhof (TVL) Johannesburg Afrique du Sud. 28.3.76 Dear John and Nola, Today a week ago we were still in New Delhi with Eve and Tony and the boys and the whole thing looks like a dream. We arrived on the 28.2 in New Delhi and were happy to see the whole family fit and in good health. The boys have grown very much, Phil is just about the size of Tony and the twins are above average. We stayed untill the 22nd March, as our visa ran out and we did not want to go through all the ceremony of asking for an extension. It also got hotter and I don't know how I would have supported the heat. The extra week would also have passed, so we decided not to go to all the trouble with the authorities and leave on the 22nd. I cannot tell you how happy we have been to see such a lovely family, so happy and united. It is rare to experience sucha thing and we have both all the reasons to be proud of them (when I say goth I mean you and us ). There is su

Guardian: Kate Harding's reactionary censorious blog on CiF

It should go without saying... ....that we condemn the scummy prat who called Liskula Cohen : "a psychotic, lying, whoring ... skank" But I disagree with Kate Harding , (in my view a pseudo blogger), posting her blog in the Guardian attacking bloggers. It's a case of set a thief to catch a thief. The mainstream media is irritated by bloggers because they steal its thunder and so they comission people like Kate Harding , people with nothing to say for themselves, apparently, other than that they are feminists, to attack bloggers. I'm black. So I can legitimately attack "angry white old men". I'm a feminist, so I have carte blanche to call all anonymous bloggers "prats." Because yes, that is her erudite response to bloggers. No I don't say that the blogging medium can't be used to attack progressives in whatever context. Of course it can. But to applaud the censorship of a blogger by a billion dollar corporate like Google, and moreov

Guardian books blog fringe: Norman Mailer

FLASHING THE GUARDIAN -- A BOOKS BLOGGERS' REBELLION :  The unheroic censor with a death wish Part 1: In which Norman Mailer stars in an experiment in search engine optimisation By ACCIACCATURE 3 February 2009 When Norman Mailer died in 2007, informed opinion – in the blogosphere, people who had read at least two of his books – was split. The army of readers who saw him as one of the most despicable misogynists writing fiction in the 20th century was perfectly matched by warriors on the other side, who raged that the label wasn’t just unwarranted but tantamount to heinous calumny. Before commenters returned to bitching-as-usual, tempers were lost on literary sites all over the net in debating temperatures high enough to bring to mind tiles burning off space shuttles re-entering Earth’s atmosphere. After I'd agreed to a spontaneous suggestion by our good friend Sean Murray -- a pioneer and stalwart of the comments section of The Guardian’s books blog – that we re-
