She died young of a drug overdose. My Oma has a neice by her in Isreal. Her name is Marion Elsbach, and she has 2 children. We last heard from her when Oma died. My Oma had all of her jewelry as she lived on a kibbutz and could not have any of that stuff. We wanted her to have it but she said she could not take it. Adi and Hanna mother was named Raphael. I think their father was named Adolph. I have to ask my Mom. He was a sucessful retailer in Germany. After playing with Adi's Lumpi we got our own minature dashund and named him Lumpi as well. My Grandmother was a nurses aid as well. My Opa was a dermatologist. After Opa died Oma traveled extensively through out Europe as a nurses aid. Is your mother named Eve? I remember Eddie had a wife named Eve. My Oma had many German artifacts as well. When she died in 1986 all of the grandchildren were given all of the artifacts. I have many things from my Oma. Adi obtained restitution for my Oma as well.I did all of her finances as she grew older. She was a wonderful loving Oma, and a marvelous cook. I am in the process of moving and have not unpacked my Oma's memorabelia yet.If I find anything that might be of interest I will let you know.
