Schifferes family papers
Liese Strauss Schifferes (1916-1956) was born in Vienna to Dr. Hugo Strauss and Sophie Kurz Strauss. She immigrated to the United States in November 1938. Stephan Schifferes (1909-2004) was born in Vienna to Julius Schifferes (1878-1913) and Bertha Schifferes (nee Schifferes, 1885-1964). He lived and worked in Stuttgart in 1938, spent several weeks in Dachau following Kristallnacht, moved to England in 1939 on a training permit, and immigrated to the United States that August. Liese and Stephan were married immediately, changed their name to Shiffers and had two daughters, Eva and Judy. Stephan Schifferes’ grandmother, Ottilie Siebenschein, belonged to a longstanding and property-owning family in Vienna.
