Berta Duckstein 1877 – 1940

 

An interesting CDV, it isn’t often that I find a name on a CDV and less often their date of birth and death, my immediate thought was that Berta was the baby, however I think that she may have been the Nanny with the dates added following her death. I wondered whether, given her name whether she had been killed by the Germans for being Jewish.
