Further Information

This is a photograph of Ruth David's maternal grandmother, Feodora. Feodora was the mother of Margarete (Ruth's mother) and Liese (Ruth's aunt). Ruth's youngest sibling was a sister born in 1934, who was named Feo after their grandmother. Feodora had committed suicide in Frankfurt shortly before the birth, letters which she had written to family members prior to her death indicate her distress at the increasing pressure put on Jewish people by Nazism.
