    Biography
    Robert Leopold Adler (19 May 1895 - 3 November 1952) was born in Heilbronn, Germany, the son of Johanna Adler. As an adult, he was trained in and practiced the trade of being a tanner. He married Rolande Meyerfeld (20 July 1905 - 2 November 1990), who was originally from Giessen, Germany, and in the late 1930s the Adlers immigrated to the United States, first settling in Milwaukee. Mr. Adler maintained contact with his mother in Heilbronn, receiving correspondence from her until October 1941, when she was deported to Theresienstadt. Johanna Adler was sent to Auschwitz in May 1944, and was killed shortly after arrival there. Robert and Rolande Adler had a daughter, Joanne, and subsequently moved to El Paso, Texas, where Robert Adler opened a wholesale leather goods business. After Robert Adler's death in 1952, Rolande remarried, and subsequently moved to Los Angeles.
