Herta, Heinrich, Walter Fleisch from Frankfurt/M., Germany

Post by xanthera »

I am looking for descendants of the three Fleisch siblings from Frankfurt/M., Germany.

Their mother, Selma Fleisch née Sternfels (1892-1942), perished in the Holocaust. She was a relative of my grandmother Martha Sternfels. They were both born in Erfelden, today's Riedstadt, Germany.

Selma and her husband Sally Fleisch (1878-1942), who also perished in the Holocaust, had had a butchery in Frankfurt/M. and three children,

- Herta Fleisch, b. 1915, moved to South Africa in 1937 with her fiancé

- Heinrich Fleisch, b. 1919, passed away in England

- Walter Fleisch, b. 1922, moved to England in 1939. I suspect he has changed his family name to Fletcher.

Thank you,

Schimon

Thank you for your help. I was able to track down Seymour Fletcher and hope to find out what had happened to his uncle Heinrich and aunt Herta.
