Notes for Bertha Strakosch
{geni:about_me} Bertha was born May 21, 1870 in Brno (see image in MEDIA).
She married Moriz Reif on April 19, 1891 in Wien (Stadttempel): Reif, Moriz & Strakosch, Bertha, per genteam.at ''Index of the Jewish Records of Vienna'' (Num. [https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1971-2579...c=MMGD-2MP:768582894 '''648''']), after a 2-year engagement. Their engagement photograph was made by the "premier society photographer of Vienna," [http://www.historiccamera.com/cgi-bin/librarium2/p...amp;app_id=2733& Fritz Luckhardt].
They lived in 1894 and 1897 at Schottenring 17, Wien I. By 1906, and until 1938, their apartment in Vienna was at Veithgasse 11, Wien III.
Sometime in/after June 1938 Moriz & Bertha were evacuated by their son Paul, to Holland. They would not go on further (to the U.S.), and it's doubtful that Paul could have gotten them visas in any case, since America's quota forCzechs was full. Bertha and Moriz remained living in a farmhouse near the North Holland village of Bergen, by the sea and dunes and the Bergen woods. They were eventually betrayed, deported, and died at [http://news.yahoo.com/researchers-locate-gas-chambers-poland-142603217.html '''Sobibor'''] camp in Poland; see:

* Reif, Moriz ''Israel.'' 25-1-1860 Ostra, 9-4-1943 Sobibor.
* Reif-Strakosch, Bertha ''Sara''. 21-5-1870 Brünn, 9-4-1943 Sobibor.
Per their granddaughter, Elizabeth (Lisbeth) Kanitz m. Canfield, "''Israel'' and ''Sara'' were assigned to Jewish citizens by the Nazis. Ordinary Austrians, Czechs, Germans, etc. did not generally have middle names, with the exception of Roman Catholics here and there" (email, Feb. 2007).
Address at deportation was: ''Breelaan 47, Bergen'' (NH) per Digital Monument website listed above. It says "the addresses are those entered in 1941 and 1942 on the forms used to compile the [Nazi] register lists. The address used closest to 1 February 1941 was designated as the primary address" by those creating the online monument.
