About Richard Taussig

  • His profile photo is dated August 2, 1915.
  • He married Bertha Glaser on 3 November 1912 in the Stadttempel synagogue at Seitenstettengasse 4 in Vienna.
  • Richard was taken to Dachau, but was released when Berta was able to find his WWl papers proving he had been in the Czechoslovakian army.
  • They also both lived in Montréal, Canada at 4148 avenue Henri-Julien for about 8 months after leaving Shanghai, while they waited for quota numbers to get into the United States. A manifest for his entry into the US is dated 24 February 1951, so presumably he lived in Montréal in 1950.
  • He arrived in New York in 1950 or 1951. He lived with Wolf Last at a boarding house in Jackson Heights, NY.
  • He is buried at the Montefiore Cemetery in Springfield Gardens, Queens, New York. His grave is located in block 55, row 12R, grave 4. One must enter between gates 427 and 428 (in front of tree) and go 5 rows back.
