1933? Eislers
Earnestine Eisler is not in this group as she weas not born. Hans Friedrich Hermann Eisler - nee Isay (eventually to be called Sean Graham) isn't in this group as there was no photo that I saw. Hermann Isay, Hans' and Gerda's father, held the Chair of International Law at Berlin University. He lost his wife, Charlotte, at the same time as he gained a son, Hans. He shortly remarried a non-Jewish lady who thought it prudent, given the undercurrent of anti-Semitism in Germany, to ‘lose’ Hans and his elder sister, Gerda, to foster families as far away as possible. Gerda's foster father was a priest in Saxony, I think. A few years later, after searching high and low, Charlotte's brother, George Eisler, managed to ‘find’ the two Isays and adopted them on top of his own four children in Hamburg.
George B. Eisler was a native of Hamburg, West Germany, and worked for Heinrich Eisler Werbung, the trade-journal publishing house founded in 1883 by his father.
After several happy years' family life in Hamburg, the exclusion and hostility to Jews ramped up in Nazi Germany. By 1933 it was obvious that fleeing the country was the only way for all of the family to survive. In 1933, the Eislers took refuge in Oak Hill Park, London NW3, England (off Frognal). Later, after the war, George was a founder of Focal Press, a publisher of books in London and New York on photography. He moved to New York, and also founded Global Press which published works on cartography. He had 3 daughters, Fredericka Arnholz of Boston USA, Ernestine Eisler of Cambridge USA and Gerda Chambers of London; 3 sons, Colin Eisler of New York, H. Michael Eisler of Philadelphia and Sean Graham of London; 13 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren
