Kornfeld, Felix

Felix Kornfeld (born June 23, 1899; died Auschwitz 1945), son of Emil and Jeanette Kornfeld (later Jeanette Schenker). Felix died in Auschwitz in 1945. Jeanette and Felix met only once after 1910: in the Theresienstadt concentration camp in 1944.

One letter from Felix to Jeanette survives as OJ 14/7 (1939). Summer vacation postcards to Felix from Schenker alone, or jointly with Emil, or Jeanette, or Erich, from the Tyrol in the period 1903-10, existed in 1988 in the possession of his son, Tomás Kornfeld; letters also existed at that time from Jeanette to Felix, written on Felix's birthday in 1912 and 1917, at least the first of which went unanswered, and further letters in 1940-41 (OJ 71/21a).
