These are two
photographs of Moritz Fein's daughter, Fritzi Fein, and son, Osias
Flocker (He used his mother's maiden name probably because it
sounded less Jewish.)
Fritz and Osias were
both born in Czernowitz and lived and worked in Vienna. They were
sent to the Theresienstadt concentration camp and presumably died
there.
Of the three sisters
who remained in Czernowitz, Lina emigrated to the United States well
before the Second World War; Rosa was able to get to Romania and
then to Israel; Gusta possibly died in Czernowitz.
The photos were sent to Moritz's brother, Fritzi and Osias' uncle
Jacob Fein, who had emigrated to New York in the 1880s with his
grandmother Rebecca Fein to escape conscription into the Austrian
army.
