Mosheim and Marx families papers 

Inge Moss was born Ingeborg Klara Marx in Munich in 1921 to Karl Marx (1885‐1938) and Else Zenner Marx (1894‐1941). She immigrated to the United States in May 1940, where her uncles and aunt Bernhard and Adolf Marx and Justin and Trude Zenner had already arrived. She lived and found work in New York City. Karl Marx had died of natural causes in 1938 in Munich, and her mother remained in Germany to care for his ailing mother, Pauline Mayer Marx. Else Marx was deported to Riga on November 20, 1941, but her transport was stopped near Kovno, where she was executed by Einsatzkommando 3. Inge’s grandparents, Pauline Marx and Lina and Josef Zenner, were deported to Theresienstadt in the spring of 1942, where they died of illness and starvation in early 1943. Inge met Herbert Mosheim at a New York City social club for new Americans and were married on March 28, 1942. Their daughters Susan and Nancy were born in Vermont in 1944 and 1946. At some point the family changed their last name to Moss. Herbert Moss (1908‐1978) was born Herbert Mosheim in Vlotho, Germany to Levi Mosheim (1863‐1935) and Sophie Loeb Mosheim (1877‐1941), who owned a paper manufacturing factory. He was arrested following Kristallnacht and held at the Buchenwald concentration camp for two months before being released on condition that he would leave Germany within six months. He secured admission to the Kitchener Camp for displaced persons in England, where he arrived in 1939. In 1940 he received his visa and immigrated to the United States where he joined his cousins, the Plaut family, in New York City. He began working for Hudson Pulp and Paper Company in New York before being transferred to their mill in Bellows Fall, VT. His sisters and brothers‐in‐law Ilse and Julius Charig, Hilde and Walter Kohlberg, and Gerda Mosheim, his nephew Joel Kohlberg, and his Grundmann cousins and nieces were deported to the Warsaw Ghetto in April 1942 and never returned. Magdalene Grundmann died at Auschwitz. His aunts Alwine and Thekla Mosheim, and cousin Edith Stamm were also deported to Warsaw and never returned. His uncle Moses Mosheim was deported to Theresienstadt in July 1942 and died there in January 1943. His cousin Hermann Mosheim is believed to have died in a concentration camp in Yugoslavia. Herbert met Inge Marx at a New York City social club for new Americans and were married on March 28, 1942. Their daughters Susan and Nancy were born in Vermont in 1944 and 1946. At some point the family changed their last name to Moss.
