Karl andHenriette's addresses in Leer were:

1st Rathausstrasse 72
2nd Am Pulverturm 25 which is where Gus and his brother Walter grew up.

Karl and Hede went by the name Silberschmidt. Very unofficially.Eventually also signed papers
this way, which got him into big trouble with the Nazi's for falsifyingdocuments. It seemed that
it never occured to any one that one just couldn't do that.

to:
Henriette Lion, alias: Hedwig Lion, birth 15 Feb 1902 Wurm , Germany, died 03 May 1942 Krasniczyn Ghetto, daughter of Joseph Lion and Henriette Herz
There is a question regarding Hedwig's name. According to a photocopy in a German language document her name is indicated
as Henriette. Like her mother. She was called Hede, a short for Hedwig to avoid confusion. Also the marriage of her parents, Joseph and Henriette Lion took officially place on March 23, 1906, while Henriette was born in1902. Most probably in thos e days only a Chuppah had taken place years before, and the edict for civil marriage came down later.
