Hermann Strauss

Born in Lohrhaupten, where his family was rooted, Hermann moved to Duisburg, raising his family there. He had his German citizenship revoked by the Nazi regime. After he was interned by the Nazis in Dachau for two months in the autumn of 1938, the family fled to Basel where they waited for a visa that would enable them to go to the US. They sailed to Los Angeles, and then settled in San Francisco, where his wife died of cancer of the gall duct in 1947. Hermann then moved to N.Y. He visited his daughter Trudy and her family (who had returned to Basel after the war) every summer, dying in Basel during one of those visits.
