V Báčskom Petrovci( Bački Petrovac, Serbia) ešte pred rokom 1900 sa prisťahovala rodina Rudolfa Taussiga,továrnika a obchodníka s chmeľom , pochádzal z Čiech(Bohemia). Rudolf Taussig býval neďaleko centra, oproti honosnému domu mal aj veľký chmeľový sklad. U neho pracovali aj mnohí občania Petrovca, teda Slováci ale aj susedia Srbi a najmä správca Rudnický zostal v dlhej pamäti ako veselý a zaujímavý človek správca chmeľového skladu. Chmeľ sa tuná v obci Báčsky Petrovec práve začal na veľko pestovať a preto sa sem prisťahovali aj iné židovské rodiny - Altmanová, Krausová, Kohnová. Môj starý otec Andrej Benka a stará mama Mária Benková rod. Sadloňová pracovalu u pána Rudolfa Taussiga, mám fotografiu mojich starých rodičov a môjho otca ako 6-7 ročného chlapca, stojí vedľa pána Taussiga. Tiež mám aj fotografiu Taussigovho syna, ktorého u nás prezývali Mano a ktorý sa (z údajov mojej nebohej kamarátky Anny Labáthovej( bývala neďaleko rodiny Taussigovej a spolu s Manom chodila do školy!) vysťahoval po 2sv.vojne do Izraelu..Čo s stalo s jeho rodinou neviem...V Petrovci je aj židovský cintorín..Možno údaje dostať aj v Židovskej obci Nový Sad - jevrejska opština. spisovateľka Viera Benková
Here is a rough English translation from Google Translate function:
In Báčsky Petrovac (Bački Petrovac, Serbia), before 1900, Rudolf Taussig's family, a factory and trader of hops, moved from Bohemia. Rudolf Taussig used to be near the center, and a big hop store opposed to the magnificent house. Many citizens of Petrovca, Slovaks and neighbors of Srbi, worked, and in particular administrator Rudnický remained in a long memory as a cheerful and interesting man the hop store manager. The hops in the village of Bachsky Petrovec have just begun to grow and therefore other Jewish families have also been moved here - Altman, Kraus, Kohn. My old father, Andrew Benka, and old mother Maria Benkova. She has worked with Mr. Rudolf Taussig, I have a photo of my old parents and my father as a 6-7 year old boy standing next to Mr. Taussig. I also have a photo of Taussig's son, who was called by Mano, and who, (from the data of my poor friend Anna Labáthová (she was away from Taussig's family and she went to school with Mano!), Moved to Israel for 2 seconds. I do not know his family ... There is also a Jewish cemetery in Petrovci .. It is possible to get the data also in the Jewish village Nový Sad - Jevrejska opština.

There is also currently a prominent large Taussig family in Jerusalem amongst the old religious families. Their ancestors no doubt are related to the Taussig's of Bohemia.
