GERMANY INVADES AUSTRIA WORLD WAR II NEWSREEL ANSCHLUSS 70792
Support Our Channel :
Produced in 1938, this American newsreel shows the Anschluss -- the annexation of Austria by Nazi Germany in March 1938.
Austria was annexed into the German Third Reich on 12 March 1938. There had been several years of pressure by supporters in both Austria and Germany (by both Nazis and non-Nazis) for the Heim ins Reich movement. Earlier, Nazi Germany had provided support for the Austrian National Socialist Party (Austrian Nazi Party) in its bid to seize power from Austria's Fatherland Front government.
Under considerable pressure from both Austrian and German Nazis, Austria's Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg decided to hold a referendum to provide a popular vote on the issue, expecting Austria to vote in favour of maintaining its autonomy, but before this could take place there was a well-planned coup d'état by the Austrian Nazi Party, which seized control of Austria's state institutions in Vienna on 11 March 1938. The leaders of the coup then cancelled the referendum.
They transferred power to Germany, and Wehrmacht troops entered Austria to enforce the Anschluss. The Nazis held a plebiscite within the following month, asking the people to ratify the fait accompli, and claimed that 99.7561% of the votes cast were in favor.
Although the Allies were committed to upholding the terms of the Treaty of Versailles and that of St. Germain, which specifically prohibited the union of Austria and the German state, their reaction was only verbal and moderate. No military confrontation took place, and even the strongest voices against the annexation, particularly Fascist Italy, France, and Britain (the Stresa Front) remained at peace.
The Anschluss was among the first major steps of Adolf Hitler's creation of a Greater German Reich which was to include all ethnic Germans and all the lands and territories which the German Empire had lost after the First World War. Although Austria had never been a part of 20th-century Germany (the unification of Germany of the mid to late 19th century created a Prussian dominated nation state in 1871, leaving Austria as a part of Lesser Germany), it was seen[by whom?] as a German state. Prior to the annexation of 1938 the Third Reich had remilitarized the Rhineland, and the Saar region was returned to Germany after 15 years of occupation through a plebiscite. After the Anschluss, Hitler targeted Czechoslovakia, provoking an international crisis which led to the Munich Agreement in September 1938, giving the Third Reich control of the industrial Sudetenland, which had a predominantly ethnic German population. In March 1939, Hitler then ended Czechoslovakia by recognizing the independence of Slovakia and making the rest of the nation a protectorate. That same year, Memelland was returned from Lithuania.
With the Anschluss, the German-speaking Republic of Austria ceased to exist as a fully independent state. At the end of World War II, a Provisional Austrian Government was set up on 27 April 1945, and was legally recognized by the Allies in the following months. It was not until 1955 that Austria regained full sovereignty.

SUMMARY
=======
The Austrian Resistance launched in response to the rise in fascism across Europe and, more specifically, to the Anschluss in 1938 and resulting occupation of Austria by Germany. An estimated 100,000 people were reported to have participated in this resistance with thousands subsequently imprisoned or executed for their anti-Nazi activities. In addition to armed resistance efforts, silent heroes helped Jewish men, women and children evade persecution by Nazi authorities by hiding at-risk individuals at their homes or in other safe houses, storing or exchanging their property to raise funds to support them, and/or helping them to flee the country. Each of these resistance members lived dangerously because such assistance to the Jewish community was punishable by imprisonment at concentration camps and, ultimately, by death. Among these silent heroes were Rosa Stallbaumer and her husband, Anton. Arrested by the Gestapo in 1942, they were both sent to the Dachau concentration camp in Germany. Although Anton survived, Rosa Stallbaumer did not; transferred to Auschwitz, she died there a week before her 45th birthday.

AUSTRIA: PENSIONER NICKNAMED THE BLACK WIDOW GOES ON TRIAL UPDATE
German/Nat
A 66-year-old woman - dubbed the Black Widow - is facing a murder charge in the Austrian town of Krems, amid claims that she is responsible for a series of deaths.
Police in Vienna claim Elfriede Blauensteiner confessed to five murders but later withdrew the admission.
Investigating officers believe she poisoned her alleged victims because she needed the money for gambling.
Sixty-six-year-old Blauensteiner looks more like a grandmother than a potential serial killer.
But detectives in Vienna accuse her of conducting a murder spree that lasted years.
Police say she admitted committing several murders - but later retracted the confession, claiming that after such intense questioning she would have confessed to anything.
The police are far from convinced.
SOUNDBITE: (German)
From our first investigation we knew there were three murders and then the lawyer said that Frau Blauensteiner had confessed to him. In that confession, she said she'd murdered four people. When we added it all together we had to subtract one murder that was the same, so the total is six murders. There may be a seventh but we don't know if that was murder or suicide.
SUPER CAPTION: Major Franz Polzer, Lower Austrian Police
Police claim the 66-year-old murdered for money and that she killed her victims by giving them fatal medicine overdoses.
But Blauensteiner claims she was abused by at least one of her victims.
And her neighbours paint a different picture of The Black Widow.
SOUNDBITE: (German)
She helped me financially, not only once but many times because she knew about my problems. At Christmas she gave each kid about one thousand schillings. (approximately 100 U-S dollars). She put 10-thousand (approximately 1-thousand U-S dollars) on the table for me for a freezer. One month before she had given me 15- thousand schillings, (approximately 1,500 U-S dollars) and I can't imagine that this woman. She told me about her men and always said positive things about how she was self-sacrificing.
SUPER CAPTION: Elisabeth Mott, Neighbour
Blauensteiner is thought to have met some of the dead men through the personal columns of local newspapers.
One of her alleged victims is thought to be Alois Pichler, believed to have been poisoned with fatal doses of medication.
The police are investigating several other deaths in relation to Blauensteiner.
And it's claimed the pensioner had the help of an accomplice.
The Black Widow's lawyer, 39-year-old Harold Schmidt is also facing charges.
He is accused of falsifying the will of one of the alleged victims.
It's claimed that Schmidt had agreed to share the proceeds with the widow.

Erzherzog Karl Marsch [Austrian march]
Hermann Josef Schneider has never been Military bandmaster. He is thus one of the few civil band masters of his time, who have secured a permanent place in the marching music sky of the Danube monarchy. Schneider spent most of his life in Bohemia. He received his musical education in the district town of Saaz - he was born in nearby Tepl - and later at the music school of the Ambrosius Association in Vienna. In 1881 he was called up to the military and spent his three-year service with the Infantry Regiment (IR) No. 62 in Maros-Vásárhely in Transylvania. In 1884 he was released. In the same year he returned to Saaz, he was appointed choir director at the parish church and took over as the Municipal Music Director the direction of the music of the uniformed vigilantes. After all, Schneider did not leave Saaz, but instead developed his musical activities there. Over 500 compositions, including marches, dances, clay paintings, various potpourris, religious music, but also two operettas, make him a versatile composer. Most of his music appeared in his own publishing house. Not known is the year of origin of his two most famous marches, which are still regarded today as true pearls of Austrian march art. The Archduke-Carl-March, op. 562 was actually called Archduke-Carl-Franz-Josef-Defiliermarsch and was probably dedicated to the Archduke-heir apparent (from October 1914) in his capacity as owner of the IR 19. The march Alt-Starhemberg commemorates the heroic resistance of the defenders of Vienna under Ernst Rüdiger Count Starhemberg during the siege by Grand Vizier Kara Mustafa in 1683. Despite the officially assigned march of the same name by J.N. Fox was generally considered the real regimental march of the IR 54.

We should go serious in this discussion and the main concern for Austria is just if the European Union is able to get such a big member like Turkey with all the problems they have. And I think that's the real reason why we say we have to ask the framework (to see the framework in advance) to the other member states before starting negotiations.

Two hundred thousand turks in Austria is not a small number, if you think Austria has 8 million inhabitants and 200 thousand of them are Turkish. One third of them can vote. I hope that it will not lead to a bad situation. This is a big question mark that we really have to think about in the future. I hope it will not lead to a bad situation.

12. SOUNDBITE (German) Christoph Kotanko, Editor in Chief of the Kurier newspaper:
In my view the main reason for this behaviour in the EU is that Schuessel has to follow the general mood of the Austrian people. And the Austrians are especially sceptical about Turkey's membership. But we have to say this doesn't only happen in Austria. In the whole Europe there are 65%, according to the European polls who are opposed to Turkish membership.

STORYLINE
As chaos swirls over last-minute obstacles set up by Austria, Turkey's hopes of one day joining the European Union, or even of starting negotiations on Monday as planned, are increasingly in doubt.
Austria's sudden insistence that the EU offer Turkey a lesser partnership instead of full membership has thrown the process into disarray.
The Austrian position may reflect a growing resistance in Europe to welcoming a poor, mainly Muslim nation whose population is soon set to overtake the 80 million of Europe's largest nation, Germany.
Michael Spindlegger, the Foreign Policy spokesman for Chancellor Wolfgang Schuessel's People's Party, speaking on Friday reiterated the Austrian government's concern that the EU might not be able to successfully integrate a country with as large a population as Turkey.
Advocates of Turkish membership argue that welcoming Turkey would send a positive signal to the Muslim world and strengthen a crucial security alliance as Europe confronts the problem of terrorism on its own soil.
Ozan Oenal a journalist and second generation turk, said that Austria already has a huge Turkish population, but he expressed concern that the row would lead to problems between the two communities.
The editor in chief of one of Austria's national newspapers the 'Kurier' Christoph Kotanko says that Austria is merely voicing general disquiet in Europe about Turkey's membership.
Recent surveys across Europe have found a majority of Europeans oppose Turkish membership.
The European deadlock threatens to alienate Islamic nations, fuelling bitterness and suspicions that the West isn't willing to accept Muslims on equal footing.
All 25 EU nations have to agree on a negotiating mandate before talks can begin with Ankara as scheduled on Monday.

STORYLINE
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon urged Israel and Hamas to respect their freshly brokered ceasefire but said only mutual recognition of Israel's right to exist and an independent Palestine could ensure permanent peace in the region.
Ban commented during ceremonies launching the Kaiciid (the King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz International Centre for Interreligious and Intercultural Dialogue), a Saudi-sponsored and funded centre in Vienna meant to promote dialogue between the world's main religions.
His pointed comments were in contrast with other speakers who spoke in general terms about the need for religious understanding.
I am determined to ensure that the cease fire is sustained, he said about last week's agreement between Israel and Hamas committing both sides to stop hostilities and easing concerns of an Israeli invasion of the West bank.
Ban said that while both sides must adhere to the ceasefire, the ultimate goal in the region had to be a two-state solution ending the (Israeli) occupation and the conflict.
Other dignitaries at the ceremonial launch at Vienna's ornate Hofburg palace included Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and his Austrian and Spanish counterparts, Michael Spindelegger and Jose Manual Garcia-Margallo y Marfil.
Their presence reflected their countries' backing for the center, even though the Saudis are playing the most prominent role in organising the centre and committing to meet all expenses for the first three years.
The three spoke in over-all terms about the need to overcome religious differences and expressed hope the center would achieve that goal.
The centre's board consists of three Christians, three Muslims, a Jew, a Buddhist and a Hindu.
Backers hope it will promote increased tolerance not only in Europe but in Saudi Arabia, where the ruling royal family must move cautiously in implementing reforms because of resistance from the powerful clergy.

Remembering the Good: Holocaust Rescue and Resistance in a French Village
November 15, 2017
From 1939 to 1945, the villagers of the Plateau Vivarais-Lignon, France, hid, protected, and ultimately rescued thousands of Jews from the Nazis at great peril to their own lives. Their nearly unparalleled actions during the Holocaust are part of this community’s long history of taking in persecuted outsiders of diverse backgrounds. Anthropologist Dr. Margaret Paxson will discuss her nearly completed book on how this community handled the shelter of outsiders. Dr. Paxson, whose first book, Solvyovo: The Story of Memory in a Russian Village, was named a 2006 “Book of the Year” by Salon.com, is a Research Fellow at Georgetown University’s Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs. Using the archive collection of the USHMM oral histories and other official records, this scholar offers a comprehensive and fascinating narrative of an entire community effort towards resistance and rescue, the effects of which both resonate and remain celebrated today.
Inside Nazi Germany
Private amateur films capturing life under the Nazi regime from the inside include footage shot by Hitler's secret mistress of Nazi officials at leisure, Hitler greeting jubilant crowds in Vienna upon the German annexation of Austria in March 1938, and the violent backlash against Jews there, and the Nazi invasion of Poland.

Dogs, like humans, expect fair play
Vienna, December 11, 2008
1. Various shots of Doctor Friederike Range experimenting with dogs
2. SOUNDBITE: (English) Doctor Friederike Range, specialist on animal cognition:
What happens here is that the dog that does not get the reward stops working so she doesn't want to give the paw anymore to the experimenter. That's probably due to the fact that the other dog is getting the reward and she herself not.
3. Various shots of Doctor Friederike Range experimenting with dog
4. SOUNDBITE: (English) Doctor Friederike Range, specialist on animal cognition:
So what you see here is that the dog if it's alone without a partner who is getting a reward she continues working even when she doesn't get a reward at all. And she continues cooperating with the experimenting without getting angry at all.
5. Mid shot of Doctor Friederike Range with her dog Guinness
6. SOUNDBITE: (English) Doctor Friederike Range, specialist on animal cognition:
Is very difficult to portray our own feelings towards the dogs. We have no idea what the dogs are feeling. We cannot ask them. What we found is that they react towards unequal distribution of food. And that's what we have to go with at the moment. We have to do further experiments to really figure out if they are somewhat comparable to humans or not.
7. Various shots of dog trainer walking dog
8. SOUNDBITE: (German) Elizabeth Karsai, Dog Trainer:
I agree with some of Dr. Range's points. But not all of them, because this was an experiment under set conditions and you cannot make the results of an experiment valid for all of the outside world, all dogs. It depends whether they know the dogs or not, whether they (the dogs) are used to working...
9. Exterior shot of dog beauty parlour
10. Various shots of man with his dog Cindy arriving at beauty parlour
11. Various shots of Cindy having her hair cut
12. Various shots of Cindy being bathed
13. SOUNDBITE: (German) Otto Liechtenberger, Dog Beautician:
Of course this isn't good. You don't give one dog a treat and not the other one. It's like giving one child a treat, and not the other. You don't do that. Dogs have feelings, they have a soul, and they know what's going on. Yes.
14. Tilt down of Saint Stefan cathedral
15. Various shots of couple walking their dog
16. SOUNDBITE: (German) Ernest Brauners, Voxpop
I believe that dogs understand human intentions very well. They have feelings. They can get angry, they can be happy, and they express that very clearly. I believe they have feelings.
17. Mid shot of woman walking her dog
18. SOUNDBITE: (German) Erika Wallner, Voxpop:
People should educate dogs like children. Be understanding and speak to them! If you tell a dog 'wait, you'll get your treat in a minute' - a dog understands that. You have to talk to the dog.
19. Various shots of people walking dogs
LEAD IN:
Dog owners might have to think twice about sending their pet - well, to the doghouse.
According to Austrian scientists dogs have a sense of fairness just like humans and monkeys.
The finding is the result of an experiment carried out by specialists in animal cognition at the University of Vienna in Austria.
STORYLINE:
What parent hasn't heard a child complaining that another youngster got more of something?
Well, it turns out dogs can react the same way.
That's according to Doctor Friederike Range who specialises in animal cognition the University of Vienna.
She's part of a team at the University that conducted a range of experiments on the behaviour of dogs.
Today she is conducting an experiment with two dogs that follow a given routine.
The dog on the left is a border collie named Guinness and the one on the right is a mixed breed named Todor
When both get a reward all is well again.

Iranian president rebukes Bush for axis of evil remark

7. SOUNDBITE: (German) Thomas Klestil, Austrian President:
I don't agree (with the axis of evil comment), the Austrian people don't agree and the European Union doesn't agree. This can be seen in various statements especially that of Mr Javier Solana, the E.U.'s foreign policy chief.
8. SOUNDBITE: (Farsi) Mohammad Khatami, Iranian President:
The words that were used were ugly words. If you look at these words from an historic point of view we have a lot of reasons to be anxious. The axis of evil was the terminology of the Second World War. I think no other states or countries suffered as much from the Second World War as the Europeans. Regardless of the effect of these words on the people of Iran, looking at the historical background of this terminology, I ask should not all nations be afraid for our future?

STORYLINE:
Iran's president rebuked U.S. President George W. Bush on Monday for his axis of evil comments linked to the September 11 terror attacks.
President Mohammad Khatami said that countries which make such statements against Iran have an appetite for war.
Khatami made the comments at a news briefing in Vienna at the beginning of a three-day visit to Austria.
Austrian President Thomas Klestil also rebuked Bush's remarks saying that neither the Austrian people nor the European Union agreed with the American President.
Iranian officials have attacked the United States since Bush said, in his State of the Union address in January, that Iran belongs to the so-called axis because it seeks weapons of mass destruction.
Iran rejects the allegation.
But not everyone is so keen to support the Iranian President, hundred of Iranian nationals gathered in a square in downtown Vienna to demonstrate against Khatami's visit.
They said Austria's reception of Khatami strengthens the hand of Iran's hardliners, now in control in Tehran.
The demonstration was organised by the National Council of Resistance of Iran, a Paris-based group that bills itself as Iran's parliament-in-exile.
A spokesman for the group, Firouz Mahvi, said hundreds more had hoped to join the protest, but were prevented entry into the country by Austrian officials.

Max Frankel. 2. Life in Vienna
In this video, #2 of 8, Max Meir ben Isak Frankel zl shares some background about growing up in Vienna. This video was filmed on July 14, 2005 by David Frankel, a little less than six years before he passed away on May 13, 2011. In addition to an abiding faith in God and a commitment to Torah and Tradition, Max Frankel bequeathed to each of his four sons a wealth of memories that is treasured by each. He will be profoundly missed.
Obituary from American Israelite (Front Cover Article) May 26, 2011
The Israelite is saddened to learn of the death on May 13, 2011 (9 Iyar, 5771) of Max Frankel. Although some will remember with fondness how Frankel led the auxiliary services for the High Holidays for many years at Golf Manor Synagogue, and his extraordinary Jewish Culture & Arts program which featured noted artists and performers several times each year, Frankel is perhaps best remembered in local circles for his 25 years of dedicated service as the Executive Director of the Bureau of Jewish Education. At the time of his retirement 14 years ago, Frankel was the most senior in length of service of all directors of Bureaus and Central Agencies for Jewish Education in the United States. His administration of the BJE was marked by tireless effort and numerous innovations that made the now defunct Federation-funded agency an effective and respected partner of all area Jewish schools.
Many of the programs and services the BJE provided year-round, were introduced, developed or expanded during Frankel's tenure. Among the better-known of these were: the Jewish Teacher Center; the Jewish Media Center; the TIKVAH Juniors and Seniors programs for the developmentally disabled; the Florence Melton Adult Mini-School; the Jewish Heritage Seminars for public school teachers; Professional Enrichment and Growth Subsidies and Incentive Grant Programs for teachers in Cincinnati's religious schools; Teen programs e.g. the March of the Living trip to Poland and Israel, the Panim el Panim Youth Mission to Washington, and the Teacher Assistant Program, training day school Junior high school students for service in Cincinnati's congregational schools; the year-round Discount Jewish Book Store; and the much beloved Jewish Book Fair and Entertainment Series ... the list could go on.
As a Yiddish speaking twelve-year-old, Frankel immigrated with his parents to the United States in 1940 after experiencing two years of forced house arrest in Vienna, Austria during WWII. Only narrowly escaping with his parents on the last passenger ship out of the port of Trieste, Italy, Frankel's four older siblings were sent ahead of them to America, England and Holland to escape the escalating Nazi terror. Despite the fact that each survived the war (his older brother Hesh had harrowing stories of his near death experiences in several concentration camps), Frankel's oldest brother, Efraim, sadly died only shortly after arriving in America.
After arriving in America, and graduating from the Yeshiva Israel Salanter (now SAR Academy in Riverdale, NY), Frankel went on to attend Yeshiva University's high school and college. A cum laude graduate of the Teachers Institute of Yeshiva University and of Yeshiva College of Liberal Arts, Frankel went on to serve in several prominent educational settings in Rochester, Erie, Boston, Philadelphia, and finally, Cincinnati. All told, Frankel served 48 years as a master educator and educational administrator.
Described at his funeral as a gentle, kind-hearted, and affable man who loved a good joke and always had a book in his hand and a song in his heart, Frankel was laid to rest by his loving family at the Beth David Cemetery in Elmont, NY (the same cemetery as his oldest brother Efraim) and is survived by his wife of 58 years, Gloria Frankel of Cincinnati OH; their four sons, Edwin (Anna) Frankel of Columbus, OH; Jeffrey Frankel of Commack, NY; Daniel (Jodi) Frankel of Suwanee, GA; and David (Cindy) Frankel of Kew Gardens Hills, NY; his older brother Hesh (Miriam) Frankel of Givatayim, Israel; his oldest sibling Molly Frankel Neuman of Englewood, NJ; and his ten loving grandchildren, Joshua, Elisheva, Sara, Dustin, Kaitlyn, Sydney, Sarah, Shayna Laya, Shira, and Miriam. Shiva was held at David's home in Kew Gardens Hills, NY through Friday, May 20.
Leap Into Darkness: A Fascinating and Moving Piece of History (2002)
Leo Bretholz was born in Vienna, Austria, on March 6, 1921 and died on March 8, 2014. His father, Max Bretholz, was a Polish immigrant who worked as a tailor. About the book:
His Mother, Dora (Fischmann) Bretholz, also Polish, was born in 1891 and worked as a seamstress. He had two younger sisters, Henny and Edith (Ditta).
After the Anschluss in March 1938, many of his relatives were arrested. At his mother’s insistence, he fled on a train to Trier, Germany, where he would be met by a smuggler. He swam across the Sauer River into Luxembourg, where he spent five nights in a Franciscan monastery. He was arrested two days later in a coffee shop and chose to be taken to the Belgian border over arrest or being sent back to Germany. He arrived in Antwerp, Belgium, on November 11, 1938. He stayed in Antwerp for a peaceful eighteen months where he went to a public trade school to become an electrician as an alternative to being sent to an internment camp. He learned to speak Dutch. On May 9, 1940, he entered a hospital in Antwerp to have surgery on a hernia, but Antwerp was bombed the next morning before he could be operated on. Upon being discharged from the hospital, he was arrested as an enemy alien. Now that the war had reached Antwerp, he was an enemy to Belgium because he was an Austrian (now German) citizen. He was sent to St. Cyprien, an internment camp near the Spanish border. His friend Leon Osterreicher came to visit him and instructed him to escape by climbing under the camp’s fence. While living with distant relatives nearby, he was sent to an assigned residence in Cauterets, France, near the Pyrenees Mountains. He stayed at this residence for eight to ten months until on August 26, 1941, when the deportation began from this town. Upon a warning from the mayor of Luchon, he hid with his uncle overnight in the Pyrenees, returning the next day to find half of the ghetto’s population deported. He walked across the Swiss border with his cousin Albert Hershkowitz in October 1942, under the name Paul Meunier, only to be stopped by a Swiss Mountain Patrol and sent back to France. He was sent to the Rivesaltes internment camp where he remained for two weeks before being sent to Drancy, a large-scale deportation camp in the suburbs of Paris.
On November 5, 1942, Bretholz was deported on convoy 42 with 1000 others headed for Auschwitz. With his friend Manfred Silberwasser he escaped through the window and leaped off the train.[1] Staying with two priests on subsequent nights, he and Manfred were given train tickets to Paris with a new set of false identification papers, this time under the name Marcel Dumont. Upon crossing into the Southern region (Vichy France), he was arrested again for abandoning his assigned residence. He spent nine months in prison, one month of which was in solitary confinement for having escaped for two days. He was released in September 1943. He was then sent to Septfonds forced labor camp for one month.
In October 1943 he was taken with thirteen other men to the Toulouse train station en route to the Atlantic coast to build fortifications. At this layover he spent hours to bend the bars, then climbed out of the train window and escaped into the city of Toulouse. In Toulouse his friend Manfred sent a third set of false papers, this time under the name Max Henri Lefevre. Bretholz joined the Jewish Resistance Group Compagnons De France, known as “La Sixieme” so he could travel freely throughout France. He was assigned to Limoges, a city in south-central France. On May 8, 1944, his hernia ruptured and he collapsed on a Limoges park bench and was sent by a passerby to a hospital, where he had surgery. He spent seventeen days in the hospital then returned for his dressings to be changed. He rejoined the underground movement and remained in Limoges until departing on a ship for New York on January 19, 1947.
He moved in with his aunt and uncle in Baltimore, Maryland on January 29 and immediately sought work as a handyman. He worked in textiles, traveling around the Mid-Atlantic. He moved into his own apartment with his friend Freddie. He met his wife Flo in November 1951, they married in July 1952. Bretholz had his first child, Myron, in 1955 and later had two daughters, named Denise and Edie. He received death notifications of his two sisters and mother in 1962, they had been deported to Auschwitz in April 1942, after which he had not heard from them. It was at this point he began to speak publicly about his experiences during the war.
