Johanna Medak

I don't know where this comes from but I have a note that Johanna was deported on June 30, 1943 at 8:00 am.

We have found some documentation that she died in Thereisenstadt Concentration Camp. She was reputed to be quite a tough lady. The coffeehouse was actually in her name, and one wonders if there was a legal or economic reason for this.

David Flynn says his grandmother had letters to Johanna from an actress named Hedwig Bleibtreu, thanking Johanna for something.
