Biographical Note
Julia Betty Schor (née Ensel) was born in Amsterdam in 1937. Her mother Rosemarie Schink (1909-2004) grew up in Meuszelwitz, Thuringia, where her father, Franz Harnish, had been the station manager. In 1931, Rosemarie Schink eloped to Amsterdam with Judah Ensel (1900-1978), whom she divorced around 1940. In 1937, Rosemarie gave birth to Julia, whose natural father was Wilhelm Weinberg (1886-1957) from Hamburg.
In 1941, Rosemarie Schink married a Jewish Austrian, Herbert Mauthner (1897- ), who had been born in Vienna in 1897 as the eldest of three sons of Robert Mauthner, director of the Bodenbacher-Dux Railroad and Melanie Leitner, daughter of a family from Veszprem, Hungary.
During the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, Julia, her mother, and her stepfather Herbert Mauthner lived in Blaricum, outside of Amsterdam. Her mother was part of the Dutch Resistance. She saved six Jews and later a German Wehrmacht deserter in Blaricum by hiding them in the attic of her house.
