Fritz Goldberg

Fritz Goldberg, b. Berlin 26 Nov. 1911 (Ruth remembers they were not sure about the date).Did not immigrate with parents. He visited his father and mother who implored him to stay in Palestine. Karl wanted him to hide in Genigar. HE could not stay liggally, as he had a tourist visa. But Fritz refused to stay. He said he had property in Germany. Got homesick and returned to Germany to sell property and underware shop, inspite of the danger. He also had a girl-friend who became his fiancee. Was caught in the street and died in Germany 8 Oct. 1944. Malka Eliav tells us that Karl got a formal letter saying that Fritz was shot while he tried to escape. She thinks that he may have been shot already in 1939.
