Nathan & Sara (née Reis) Reis were the great-grandparents of Selma Schloss, the wife of Emil Bär and Hermann Stern. We know little about the great-grans, Nathan & Sara, but quite a bit about grandparents, Alexander & Jette (née Schloss) REIS.
Please note: The word ‘murdered’ is used as defined in the Yad Vashem Database as follows: “During the Shoah, Jews were murdered in a variety of ways, among them gassing, shooting, burning, drowning or burial alive, exhaustion through forced labor, starvation, epidemic diseases, deprivation of medical care and minimal hygienic conditions, and more.”
