Europe / Re: Richard Lessig Germany
« on: Thursday 24 March 11 12:20 GMT (UK) »
I now have found the area where the Lessig family were in 1943. At the time of her death Martha Lessig (nee Munzer) was in Bertelsdorf (Berthelsdorf), which is in East Germany so fits with what we already know.
There is also family rumour that the Munzers had Jewish blood.
