Notes for Markus CASSIRER
See also Notes: WD Falk Account: In the 1860s, Markus and Jeanette Cassirer lived in Upper Silesia in a place called Schwientochlowitz. Their children all moved away from the country as they grew up and moved to Breslau. In Breslau they had an uncle [Siegried Cassirer?? JF] who was very interested in these boys and, as they came, would find jobs for them in his trade - the timber trade. Only the youngest one was sent to the University. (schwientochlowitz is near Kattowitz in Poland - see http://genealogy.metastudies.net/ZDocs/CEurope/index.html. Later schwientochlowitz was to become the site of a Nazi work camp where 2500 men women and children were murdered in only 7 months.)279 According to Werner Falk's recollection Markus and Jeanette established a country pub where they made and sold Schlibowitz (a Schnapps) according to their own recipe. However the records show them as Cloth Merchants, whilst Markus's brother Siegfried is shown as a Brewer. So it is probably Siegfried and his wife Henriette to whom this story applies.
