Notes for Ing. Bedrich Fritz Honig
{geni:about_me} From Peter Rohel's [http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~.../robitschek.html#ann ROUBIČEK / ROBITSCHEK] page at RootsWeb (Autobiographical Sketches of Margaret Robitschek Honig):
Bedrich (Friedrich, Fritz) HONIG /HOENIG Born: Jul 15, 1890 Married: May 16, 1920 Died: ~1945
Fritz Honig attended schools in Prague and Budejovice, and spent one year at the Technical University in Vienna from where he went to Dresden where he received his PhD in chemistry and technology. During WW I he served in the Austrian Army on all four fronts. The war had disrupted his career; he was supposed to travel abroad extensively for the purpose of writing on textile fibres and their origin, a project which would have required many years of research. He returned from the war in October 1918 and found employment at the textile factory in Choceň. On May 16, 1920, he married Margaret Robitschek. They lived in Choceň, and had three children: George (Jirka); Madeleine; Irene.
Fritz became a partner in the firm, later Vice President of the Textile Employers' Association, and lay judge in Labor questions. He was co‑founder of the DYAS plywood factory in Uhersky Ostroh, and was well-known and respected asan outstanding expert. After the Nazi occupation the entire property was confiscated, and Fritz together with Hans Robitschek were arrested under a fictitious charge and jailed in a terrible Nazi prison. Then they were releasedand expelled to a small town, Holice. This happened in 1941; in 1942 the family was arrested and brought to Svatoborice concentration camp, and from there in December 1942 to Terezin camp. On September 28, 1944 Fritz was taken toAuschwitz and from there to Dachau concentration camp where he died sometime in December 1944.
