Notes for Karoline Kanitz
{geni:about_me} Karoline Kanitz Haas's Theresienstadt death record says "birthdate November 5, 1873". However, she was born October 5, 1868 in Nikolsburg, as shown on her own signed marriage record (see in MEDIA). Birth is recorded in ''Czech Jewish Registers'', www.badatelna.cz, Nikolsburg (Mikulov) Births 1850-1873, Image #158 of 161. Five Kanitz siblings are listed together on "page 157" of that volume.
