My Heritage published, as free information, a list of Jews who tried to emigrate from Wien, Austria in 1938/1939, with scanned cards. This list also include persons who were born in Lubaczow.
One was Isidor SCHNEIDER born May 27th 1888 in Lubaczow.
But who were his parents?
Two men with the SCHNEIDER name have been located at the Lubaczow cemetery.
Fischel SCHNEIDER who died in 1915, was a Levite, born around 1855.
Chaim Samuel SCHNEIDER who died in 1924, was not a Levite, born around 1858. From this we understand that these are two different families - one Levite, one Israel.
Could one of these two men have been the father of Isidor SCHNEIDER?
Isidor had moved to Austria in 1910, when he was around 22 years old.
In 1938/1939 , at the age of 50, his professions are listed as "Religionslehrer, Kantor , Privatlehrer"(Teacher of religion, cantor and private tutor/teacher).
His knowledge of languages is impressive - German, Hebrew, English, Polish, Ruthenian (Ukrainian) Latin and some Russian.
Isidor was married to Itta nee MONHEIT and the couple had two children:
Theodor SCHNEIDER born in 1919 in Wien, Austria
Lola SCHNEIDER born in 1924 in Wien, Austria
The first application was made in May 1938 and at that time the countries the family wanted to emigrate listed: England, France, USA, Canada, Palestine.
On another application from February 27th 1939 he wrote that he intends to go to Hungary.
On the third document from July 21th 1940, the new Nazi law of adding Israel to male Jewish names and Sara to female Jewish names, is in force. The letter is addressed to Isidor Israel SCHNEIDER.
Could I find the names of Isidor SCHNEIDER's parents?
On Geni.com I found a profile for a Mr. SCHNEIDER born May 27th 1888 in Lubaczow.
Here his father was listed as Chaim Samuel SCHNEIDER and his mother was Laja Hudes SCHNEIDER nee ZIEGELHEIM.
His wife was listed as Ida Itta SCHNEIDER nee MONHEIT, and their children were Theodore Teddy SCHNEIDER and Lola SPRINZELES nee SCHNEIDER.
With this information I returned to this website and found the grave of Chaim Samuel SCHNEIDER.
