Hanoch Gerstel papers
Friedrich Hugo (Hanoch) Gerstel (1899-1956) was born in Vienna to Carl and Theresia Gerstel. He attended divinity school in Stockholm, became a Pastor, and engaged in missionary work. He married Ester Stolpe (1892-1984), and the couple had two daughters: Eva Lydia and Ruth Debora. In 1939 he returned to Vienna to visit his family and preach, but he was arrested by the Gestapo and spent ten months in prison. His sisters Charlotte Gerstel Engel and Edith Gerstel are believed to have been killed at Auschwitz and Chełmno. He worked with the Israelsmissionen Immanuel and the Swedish Society of Friends to the Jewish People, and he published a book honoring the establishment of the State of Israel. His family’s name is sometimes spelled “Gerstl.”
