Emil Reisin

Emil Reisin was born in Mittweida on November 7, 1905. His parents were Mendel Michael Reisin (born 1867), an engineer from the vicinity of Kursk, and Fanny Kleiner, born around 1874 near Orenburg. Emil Reiser had an older sister, Sara Sophie, who was born in Dnipro in 1898. The family lived in Berlin Charlottenburg from at least 1910 and at Suarezstr. 6 from at least 1915. According to the mark of provenance, Emil Reisin was a student of economics. From 1927 to 1933, the Reisin siblings are listed in the Berlin address books as accountants at Suarezstr. 6, which presumably refers to Emil and Sara Sophie.

Fanny Reisin, née Kleiner, dies in Berlin in 1922 at the age of 48. Mendel Michael Reisin marries Betty Sussmann, who was born in Berlin in 1882, in 1925. Sara Sophie Reisin marries Hans Walter Clemens Schliebitz, a native of Friedenau, in Berlin in 1930.

The Reisin family was persecuted as Jewish in National Socialist Germany. Mendel Michael Reisin and Betty Reisin, née Sussmann, were both deported to the Riga ghetto in 1942 and murdered. Their two children survived the Shoah. All that is known about Sara Sophie Schliebitz, née Reisin, is that she lived in Berlin in the 1960s and died there in 1970. Emil Reisin was apparently able to emigrate, and in 1940 he married Dina Spiegel, who was born in Nowoselyzia in 1912, in Jerusalem. After 1945, they both lived in Berlin again, where Emil worked as an administrative employee / civil servant. Dina Reisin, née Siegel, passed away in Berlin in 1967. The date of death of Emil Reisin is still unknown. Information on possible descendants is also not yet known.
