A photograph of him taken in his last days survives, part of a yellow star still visible on his armband — an image made, as the family notes, only days before the deportation.[^death] Through his daughter [[Miriam Goldfischer (b.1902)]] his line runs down to Ozzy.[^kin] [^birth]: Born 7 May 1878, [[Muzhiyevo]] — the census place "Velky Muzol" corresponds to Nagymuzsaly, Bereg, Kárpátalja (Subcarpathia), then Hungary, ~18 miles from Munkács/Mukachevo (family MyHeritage biography). Alternate name Salamon. [^parents]: Son of [[Jakob Goldfischer (b.1851)]] and [[Sura Yuta Reiter (b.1855)]]; a much-intermarried family (three distinct descent paths to Ozzy — see the paths on this profile), with Goldfischer and Hershkowitz half-siblings. [^family]: Wife [[Chaya Friedmann (b.1878)]]; children per the GEDCOM/MyHeritage record: [[Miriam Goldfischer (b.1902)]], [[Mordechai Elimelech Goldfischer (b.1904)]], [[Moshe Ber Goldfischer (b.1906)]], [[Shlomo Goldfischer (b.1908)]], [[Josef Goldfischer (b.1913)]], [[Mechel Goldfischer (b.1918)]], [[Zev Goldfischer]]. [^records]: Interwar Czechoslovak records on the profile: a 1930 census entry (Slovak state archives / Slovakiana; e.g. https://www.slovakiana.sk/en/census-forms/cair-ko1g67b) and Goldfischer marriage-record images. [^death]: Died 25 July 1942 (GEDCOM/MyHeritage), a victim of the Holocaust; a photograph taken days before deportation shows part of the yellow star on his armband (image on the profile, "Zaidy Shalom"). [^kin]: Direct line to Ozzy via [[Miriam Goldfischer (b.1902)]] → [[William Bill Goldfischer (b.1923)]] → [[Chaya Goldfischer (b.1950)]] → [[Avi Bernstein (b.1977)]]. (He also relates as a 2x great-grand-uncle and, distantly, a 6th cousin 3x removed through the intermarried Goldfischer/Isseroff lines — see the paths on this profile.) ## Research *(your reasoning — preserved across every rebuild)* - **Born Nagymuzsaly (Muzhiyevo) 1878**, son of [[Jakob Goldfischer (b.1851)]] + [[Sura Yuta Reiter (b.1855)]]; m. [[Chaya Friedmann (b.1878)]]. **Holocaust victim, d. 25 July 1942** — pre-deportation photograph (yellow star). Direct-line daughter [[Miriam Goldfischer (b.1902)]]. - **Records on the profile** (to read directly): 1930 Czechoslovak census (Slovakiana), Goldfischer marriage records. The census birthplace "Velky Muzol" = Nagymuzsaly. ## Evidence ## Open questions - **Read the 1930 census and marriage records directly** (Slovakiana census entry; the marriage images) and add key ones to Evidence. - **Deportation details** — the exact deportation and place of death (1942) are not documented beyond the date; a Yad Vashem / DEGOB record would fill it in.
