Some of his relatives perished during the Holocaust, including his paternal grandmother, Fanny Kaufman. Mr. Kaufman, an only child, fled with his parents Gustav and Hilda from their ancestral town of Wenings, not far from Frankfurt. The group included his mother's parents, Daniel and Fanny Rosenthal, and they landed in New York in 1937, when Henry was 10.
In reference to this article, I wanted to find out how to get the info to Henry, that I purchased a poem book from a sale, that has poems from the students from a school in New York, and the name Fanny Kaufman is in there. It may be Henry's grandmother!
