Steve Hirschhorn asked me if I had any photos of your mother (my Aunt Hermine, of course) and I did find some very faded, old pictures, that I sent on. Thought you might like to share them, Walter...

Hope, all is well with you all!

All my love,
Lisa

Dear Steve'

I am sending you three very faded photographs of your Granny, one with you and Robert as small little boys (in the back it said: "Joschi's two boys" ), one taken when she visited with us in Fort Lauderdale in 1957, I believe, then another one with her sister Klari(I just took her face, but will in my next Email send you the other too...). Klara was the only survivor from my family, which perished in the Concentration camp -you might have gotten the story from Walter, I suppose.

I hope you can see some of it, if it comes through. I still am looking for the one (a better one) of you and Granny...

My best to your lovely wife, Andrea and the rest of the family. How is your daughter by now -all better, I am sure...When you are young, you heal fast! I personally am getting more ancient and decrepit each day - old age is definitely not for Sissies...

Love,
Lisa

To Steve Hirschhorn

Subject: The Rosenbergs...

Me again...

Just thinking...

A few years ago, Walter and I started to write about our (ilustrious?) family, the Rosenbergs, starting from my Grandfather Jacob (also your father, Joschi's (Jo's) Rosenberg, a quite brilliant, well travelled(like YOU.:))), multi-lingual (spoke nine languages etc.,Individual. We visualized another "Forsythe Saga" (Galsworthy)or "The Buddenbrocks" (Thomas Mann?), but never got very far and the project sort of died along the way...I have a mountain of notes and tries and so must have Walter.

I thought, you might be the one who could make a "Bestseller" out of the story, I think you are a gifted writer, very detailed. You should consider this a Side project - I imagine, you would have to take tape recordings, personal interviews, may be, etc. What do you think -interested?

Incidentally, a bit of memory lane walking: Did you know, that Hermann Hirschhorn, Jo's father, who died before I was born (TB), was a gifted Violinist? Also, Walter father, Emil, a Gentile Rumanian Nobleman, was converted to Judaism, before Hermine's father, Jacob, would consent to their marriage? (Your Granny was a widow with two children at that time, Joschi and Julie). So Walter is biologically considered half Jewish, half Gentile and so probably found it easier, not to get too involved with the Jewish community, when his family moved to England. After what Hitler did to the Jews, I can't blame him...There used to be a saying: "It's hard to be a Jew"...
So if you do have a choice, chances are, you take the other side...

Think about the above!

Hope all is well with you and yours!

Love,
Lisa

How delightful, thanks for being so thoughtful ...

Where did you ever find this wonderful card? As a child, I remember playing in the Stadtpark, where the golden statue of Johann Strauss reigned over the beautifully landscaped gardens...memories, memories...

Happy New Year once more,
Love to you and your great family,
Aunt Lisl and Julie
