Rosenberg and Mosler families papers

Hermann Rosenberg (1887-1957) was born in Kleve, Germany on 7 March 1887 to Michaelis and Lenore (née Salomon) Rosenberg. He had three brothers, Karl, Max, and Paul, and one sister, Hennie (later Hennie Gottlieber). He was a veteran of World War I, and married Alice Herzfeld on 29 October 1922. Alice (1890-1965) was in 1890 in Frankfurt, Germany. She had one brother, Peter (later Peter Hart, 1923-2004) and one sister, Linda (later Linda Weil, b. 1887).

Hermann and Alice lived in Hamburg, Germany where Hermann worked as a stockbroker. They had two children, Ilse (later Elsie Mosler, b. 1925) and Peter (b. 1923). Facing ever increasing anti-Semitism in Hamburg, the family immigrated to the United States in August 1939. Peter served in the United States Army during World War II. Ilse married Claude Mosler in 1949 and they settled in New York where they had two sons, Ken and Steven.

Hermann’s brothers Max and Paul both perished at the Theresienstadt concentration camp. Alice’s sister Linda, her husband Ludwig Weil also perished there after being deported from the Łódź ghetto. Their daughter Henny perished at an unknown camp, but their son Felix survived by being sent on a Kindertransport to England.
