Moritz Rimpel

Mark Meyer: The Brno City Archives indicates that Moritz and Helena were registered at several Brno addresses, as was their son David. It had to be between 1936 and 1940. David, his wife Elsa (also from Stuttgart) and their little daughter Dina (born 1941) were deported from Brno to Theresienstadt and later to Auschwitz. Moritz and Helena went back to Stuttgart. (My mother met Helene there in February 1940.) The records are unclear whether Moritz got there. Helena Rimpel then moved from Stuttgart to Baisingen and from there she was then deported to Izbica on April 26, 1942 and murdered. But what happened to Moritz? Not sure except we know he died on December 17, 1941 – one day short of a year to the day after my grandfather’s death in Dachau.

David Rimpel’s wife Elsa Rimpel: Born April 11, 1912 in Stuttgart; Married to David Rimpel on September 11, 1937 in Brno. David was an orthopedic surgeon David and they had 1 child, Dina. All three were transported to Auschwitz on May 15, 1944 with Transport "Dz" to Auschwitz.
