About Benno Katz
- Date/place of birth #31 in Hanno Müller, Juden in Pohlheim, Garbenteich, Grüingen, Holzheim, Walzenborn-Steinberg (2015), p. 84. Birthplace in marriage record in South Africa is given as Heidelberg, Germany
- Identified as son of Jakob and Emma (née Neumann) Katz in Müller.
- Benno Katz lived in Lich until 1932 and then moved to Heidelberg. He attended the University of Heidelberg; see Ancestry.com. South Africa, Biographical Index, 1825-2005 [database on-line]. , https://www.ancestry.com/discoveryui-content/view/34854:61328
- Evidence indicates that Benno Katz left Germany and immigrated into South Africa in 1935. [Source: Ancestry.com. South Africa, Biographical Index, 1825-2005 [database on-line]]
- In 1939 he was living in Johannesburg when his brother, Siegfried, and sister-in-law Emma were there. Benno Katz was identified as "relative or friend in country whence alien came" on the ship's manifest when Siegfried and Emma entered the United States in April 1939. [Source: Year: 1939; Arrival: New York, New York; Microfilm Serial: T715, 1897-1957; Microfilm Roll: Roll 6313; Line: 4; Page Number: 84/Source Information: Ancestry.com. New York, Passenger Lists, 1820-1957 [database on-line].
- The wife of Benno Katz was Traute Angerthal. The available records have different dates for their marriage. The entry in the South Africa, Marriage Index, 1807-2007. gives the marriage date as 28 Feb 1947. However, data in family trees in MyHeritage state that the marriage took place on 24 February 1939, although no evidence is attached. This earlier date of 1939, however, seems probable as the 1944 death notice for Jakob Katz includes "Benno Katz u. Frau" (Benno Katz and wife).
