About Max (Mordechai) Blumenthal
From Theo:
When Max was 3 years old, his father was killed in a pogrom. His mother took the children and they fled to England. I have little detail, but my mother told me that, when Max was twentyish, he heard about diamonds being discovered in in Kimberley, and set sail from Liverpool for Cape Town. He made his way to Kimberley and was there during the siege by the Boers (Oct 14, 1899 - Feb 15, 1900). There he met, and married Bertha Sacks. They had seven children: Rose, the eldest, Lily (my mother), Violet (Daphne's and Trevor's mother), (then they ran out of flower names (;-)), Jack, Freda, Robert and Hilda.
