1932
From Max Gutmann: "My father had one brother, Hugo, and one sister, Paula. My uncle Hugo came to the United States around the turn of the century, and he lived in Cincinnati. He passed away in 1924. aunt Paula lived in Eisleben. That is incidentally, the city that Martin Luther was born in and started his movement. There was a big statue of him back to their house. Aunt Paula´s only surviving grandchild is Peggy Trachtenberg, who currently lives in Phoenix.
Alfred Katzenstein, Paula´s husband, was a free spirit. He was beaten by a Nazi group one night in 1932, prior Hitler coming to power in 1933. Alfred was in the wrong place for him, a tavern, at the wrong time, and he was never quite the same. My father was encouraged by his sister to send two carloads of cattle, which is probably 80 units, so she could continue her business. She promised that she would pay him in quick order. My father sent the cattle, like a good brother, just like all of us would, to help our family. Their manager, a cousin, that my aunt had working for them, squandered the money. My father never got a dime in return, which used up all his working capital and that was the beginning of the downturn in his business. He had to borrow money and pay high interest. I remember they rode around in a fancy convertible automobile with big running boards on the side while we had a horse and a bike.“61
