Early in 1936 my father exposed two rolls of 35mm film during his last week in Germany and first weeks in New York.. He recorded the people and places he was leaving behind including grandparents' graves, some relatives and friends, the house in Wallau in which he and his father were born and the loyal staff of his abandoned 100-year-old family business in Wiesbaden / Erbenheim. I'm having trouble understanding the notes Dad wrote on the backs of these pictures. This is the second in the series. I don't recognize the lady in the photo and can't understand the identifying squiggle written before the date. If anyone recognizes this location in Wiesbaden, clearly one of importance to my father, I'll be delighted. The address may help identify the lady if Dad's squiggle isn't her name or initials. I'm not going to send all the undecipherable notes >from these photos to ViewMate. If you would like to help me with more of them please let me know. Many thanks. In addition to LOWENSTEIN, family names associated with these images include SCHEUER, SCHWARZSCHILD, BARTH, EHRLICH >from Wiesbaden and Frankfurt and WOLF originating in Barchfeld a/d Werra.
