Franziska Nunnally papers 

Franziska (Frances) Nunnally was born June 29, 1921 in Vienna to Ferdinand (1884-1941) and Irma Huppert (1889-1941). Franziska escaped to England in May 1939 and immigrated to the United States in 1950. Her brother, Leopold (1912-1945?), escaped to Brussels but was interned there, deported in May 1940 to France, and transferred to St. Cyprien. He seems to have lived in hiding in Paris until 1944, when he was detained at Drancy, deported to Auschwitz, and transferred to Buchenwald and Mauthausen. He is believed to have died at Flossenbürg. Her mother was detained in November 1941 and deported to Minsk, where she was executed. Her father died shortly before his wife’s deportation. Her grandmother, Sophie Schlesinger, perished at Theresienstadt.
