Blumenthal family papers
Bernhard Blumenthal (b. 1863, Germany) was a farmer born in Hüttengesäß, Germany (a district in Ronneburg) to Moses and Jette Blumenthal. Bernhard and his wife Elissa Sinsheimer (b. 1862) had three children, Theodor (b. 1892), Sophie (b. 1894), and Albert Blumenthal (1896‐1972). Bernhard was imprisoned for one year in Wolfenbüttel and deported from Frankfurt am Main in August 1942 to Theresienstadt. According to Blumenthal's granddaughter, Ellen B. Sehgal, Bernhard Blumenthal died in Auschwitz concentration camp, but other sources indicate he was killed at Treblinka. Theodor Blumenthal emigrated to Argentina with his wife and two sons prior to World War II. Sophie Blumenthal suffered from a thyroid condition and was murdered during her time in a hospital. Albert Blumenthal was a shoe salesman in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, and had served as a medic in Italy during World War I. He was arrested by the Nazis twice before managing to immigrate to the United States with his wife Alice (nee Kahn, 1900-1985), and their young daughter, Ellen, in December 1938. Another family relative, Joseph Sinsheimer, also perished in the Holocaust.
