Julius Beer on holiday

Julius Beer on holiday

This photograph is from the 1930s, and shows my husband's father, JUDr. Julius Beer. I don't know the woman standing beside him; it's not his wife. My husband's mother's name was Hildegard Beerova. My father-in-law was born in Jevicko, in Moravia, in 1877. During the Holocaust they transported him to Terezin and from there to the Auschwitz concentration camp, where in July 1944 he was murdered.
