a few corrections: my great-grandfather Gustav Pfingst had 13 siblings. Of the 14, 7 died before the war, 6 perished in the holocaust and one survived (Rosa Bunzel geb Pfingst). Julius Pfingst was a cousin of Gustav, not a brother. Do you want a photo of Gustav & Lisbeth Pfingst?
Thank you so much for reaching out and for your really helpful corrections. It's such an honor to meet a family member of Gustav and Lisbeth <3.
I will review and update the family tree on ancestry.com, and I will of course correct the article. I would love to have a photo of Gustav and Lisbeth. I saw your message on ancestry as well and will be in touch via email. Thank you again Rodney.
It’s fascinating to learn how throughout history of wars and genocides you see how diasporas unfold. The world would be a much calmer place if refugees didn’t have to disperse in form of survival to save their and their family’s lives.
In this episode, having read how some family members made it to the US, Puerto Rico, and other parts of Europe feels hopeful while hearing others ended up in execution camps is just devastating.
