In Memoriam

Regina Feldman's brother (Bobby's mother) · Hebrew name Nossen / Nathan (per the labeled Apagy photo from the family archive) · in Apagy he ran the general store and wholesaled potatoes, in business partnership with his brother-in-law / cousin / across-the-street neighbor Lipot Weisz — the 1924 Hungarian commercial directory entry "Weisz Lipót és Társai" ("Lipot Weisz and Partners") almost certainly reflects this partnership · had three wives in succession: (1) Hanni Weisz (Chana Toba, his first cousin, m. ~1918, d. 1919) — only child Géza · (2) Regina Weisz (Hanni's sister, also his cousin, m. ~1920, d. 22 Aug 1929) — mother of Ferenc, Elizabeth, Leah · (3) Helena Klein Feldman (m. ~1929, deported with Ignácz to Auschwitz May 1944, killed there) — mother of Sara Rochel, Zolton · per Irene's 2014 testimony Ignácz was shot at the Auschwitz ramp trying to help his elderly mother Miriam · per Ferenc's 1995 Shoah Foundation record his death was at Mauthausen/Gunskirchen — discrepancy unresolved pending tape transcription

Bobby's maternal uncle. Three successive wives — first Hanni Weisz, then her sister Regina Weisz, then Helena Klein after Regina died in 1939. He was Lipot's brother-in-law, cousin, business partner, and neighbor in Apagy. His son Ferenc (Herschel) was the only Feldman of his generation in this line to survive the war. Source: Chapter 8.

On the right, Lipot Weisz with his wife Regina Feldman (Ignácz's sister) and their son Imre. Standing in the center is Regina Weisz, Hanni's unmarried sister who would later become Ignácz's second wife.

F · family photograph Hanni Weisz Feldman Lipot's younger sister. She married her first cousin Ignácz "Nossen" Feldman — the marriage that bound the Weisz and Feldman lines a second time, since Roza Grósz and Miriam Grósz were already sisters. Hanni died in childbirth in 1929 at a young age. This photograph is the only image of her we have.

The Klein × Weisz Archive is a multi-generational record of two Hungarian Jewish lines, joined by Bobby and Laci’s marriage in 1952.
