Address: Kottozinka is how the place of birth was listed in a database on the U.S. Holocaust Museum. This is probably wrong. The person who wrote this as the place of birth likely relied upon an Application For An Identity Card At the Krakow Ghetto that was completed in 1940. A different interpretation of the place of birth on that application is Kollomyja. As of January 2, 2020 there is a city in Ukraine named Kolomyia. Per wikipedia, this city was called Kolomyja in Polish. In 1900, about half the city's population was Jewish.

Date of entry in original source: August 14, 1940 Note: The issue is whether Hanni was born a "Weiser" or born a "Brandstadter." According to my mother, Hanni Brandstadter and Michael Weiser were her parents. But, I recently found information about a Michel Brandstadter who lived in the same complex as Hanni Brandstadter in Leipzig. And according to a Card From the Jewish Community in Leipzig, Hanni was born a Weiser and was divorced. One of the difficulties, is that the Michel Brandstadter who I located was born in 1899 accoding to his Leipzig Jewish Card. And that would make him about seven years younger than Hanni and about seventeen years old at the time of his daughter erika weiser's birth.
Note: The Leipzig Jewish Community Card was found at the Arolsen Archives at https://collections.arolsen-archives.org/en/document/129820854. The Leipzig Jewish Community Card was found at the Arolsen Archives at https://collections.arolsen-archives.org/en/document/129820854. The card notes that Hanni was born "Weiser" and she was divorced from "Michel B.". This collection contains digital copies of documentation held by the Jewish community in Leipzig. |
