Fanni was murdered at Chelmno, an extermination camp. She is listed along with her neighbors who were also murdered. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66953864ef7a3d26bd1a573d/9d3537d0-5a08-48fb-8e98-8f53566dc096/image2+%282%29.jpeg The Thread - Aunt Grete’s Stone - 112 Mariahilferstrasse This is the building where Grandma Fanni lived.

Greta was a woman who owned property, which was unusual at the time. If she was like other women in the family, she was strong-willed. There was probably no talking her into leaving. https://www.karenfordfeilbogen.com/thethread/annehandaustrianagain monthly 0.5 2025-10-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66953864ef7a3d26bd1a573d/811a81d5-827a-440d-99b8-cfcc0074e9c6/Anne+Hand.jpg The Thread - Austrian Again: An Interview with Anne Hand - I recently had the opportunity to talk with Anne Hand about her experiences with the citizenship process, and writing her book, “Austrian Again: Reclaiming a Lost Legacy.” Anne Hand and her new book, “Austrian Again” https://www.karenfordfeilbogen.com/thethread/goosebump-lake monthly 0.5 2025-10-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66953864ef7a3d26bd1a573d/1757332407989-I412JS6JE9V7VPBX0OUT/IMG_9945.jpg The Thread - Goosebump Beach - Make it stand out Strandbad Gänsehäufel on the Danube https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66953864ef7a3d26bd1a573d/1757336620723-3KUQEFSZV21LGK6X5MBO/Picture1.jpg The Thread - Goosebump Beach - Camp Noam Group Pic I’m top row, third from the left.
