My grandmother (mother of my mother) was Anna Einsiedler (died 1962 in Memmingen). She worked as a kind of houskeeper in the household
of Flora and David Sommer in Memmingen, Donaustraße 6, later Ulmer Straße 27. David has had a brother Heinrich Sommer. He lived also in Memmingen, Ulmerstr. 6, with
his family: his wife Johanna and their 3 children Ruth (*1922), Sophie (Friedmann) (*1923) and Richard (*1924).
