Gruenwald family

The Ronney Traynor Family Trees Collection consists of several typed family trees. These show the descendants of members of the Grunewald/ Gruenwald/ Greenwald, Kahnweiler, Gimble, Lichtenstein and related families.

The collection contains correspondence mostly authored by Stephanie and Franz Pisker, dispatched from Vienna, Austria and the Jewish ghetto in Opole, Poland to their daughter Susan (née Herta) in America, before Franz and Stefanie were killed in the extermination camp of Sobibor. Also included are official documents and letters pertaining to their unsuccessful attempt to immigrate to the United States and the questionnaires by the Austrian Heritage Collection of Susan and her husband John H. Graham.
