Hi velthove, you are right - as usual!

Jenny MOOS née KARLSRUHER was born on January 13, 1871 in Buchau.
She lived in Waldhorngasse until she moved to Stuttgart in April 1942.
Along with 93 other elderly Jews she was forced to live in catastrophic conditions in Eschenau Castle near Heilbronn. (more info on „Jüdisches Zwangsaltenheim Eschenau“)
At the age of 71 she was deported to Theresienstadt.
She was one of the 80 survivors (out of about 1200 deportees from Baden-Württemberg) and was placed in an old Jewish people’s home in Stuttgart-Degerloch (see address in CLI card). She only weighed 30 kg then.
In 1948, she moved to a Jewish retirement home in Munich, where she celebrated her 78th birthday in 1949. She died on 17.10.1953.

Her husband:
Alfred MOOS (21 Nov 1862 – 25 Mar 1927) Buchau, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany
As Jenny is mentioned as „Fabrikantenwitwe“ (Factory owner’s widow) (source above) it’s probably him mentioned here as partner in a knitwear factory in Buchau.

Have a :sunny: weekend!
