Here is an article of the tragic death of some members of the Edelstein family from Luxembourg in the concentration camp Auschwitz during WWII. How is their relationship?

Kind regards, Gilles

I have found the following article of a Walter Edelstein opening a department store in Danzig back in 1903. Is there perhaps a link?

Dear all,

Firstly, my apologies that this post is in English!

I am currently writing about the Edelstein family, who came to Luxembourg City from Germany in February 1932. I know that, in June of that year, Walter and his son Kurt took over the Beffort-Bandermann company owned by Jenny Grünstein , specifically the shop on the corner of Krautmarktstraße and Pastorstraße (then Rue du Curé and Rue Marché-aux-Herbes?). I wondered if there are any records, or if anyone knows, how the Edelsteins came to meet Ms Grünstein? All I can assume so far is they met when she was the landlady for Kurt, his wife and family's first address, above the Mignon hosiery shop on Gross Straße (Grand-Rue), but I do wonder if they had a connection, particularly when they took over the business so soon after arriving from Germany.

If anyone has any other additional information about the takeover or the shop, I would be extremely grateful to receive it. I have already found these wonderful photographs of a hatbox !
