Weinmann-Fels collection

Weinmann-Fels collection 

The Weinmann-Felses were a blended family. Eva Weinmann (1892-1942) had two children from her first marriage to Bruno Fels, Ursel (b. 1913) and Klaus. Eva later married Kurt Weinmann, with whom she had a daughter, Ulla (1924-1981). Kurt died in 1934 of a heart condition. Eva was deported to Auschwitz on transport no. 23. She was murdered there on 29 November 1942. Ursel escaped to South Africa with her husband Martin Eisenstein, while Klaus went to the USA. Ulla, who was sponsored by Sir Josiah Wedgwood, came to Britain, where she studied art and worked at the Wedgwood factory. In later life, she became interested in transcendental meditation.
