[This was written 14 August 2005.]
According to family sources, Eloesser ZÜLZ was a rabbi and
teacher, and was from Posen (town or province?), and his wife was a great aunt
of the journalist and political critic Maximilian HARDEN (1861-1927), who was
born Felix Ernst WITKOWKSI, and whose parents came from Posen Province. For this reason, her maiden name has been
said to have been WITKOWSKI; however, substantial research into the WITKOWSKI
family history found no connection to the family of Eloesser ZÜLZ.
For that reason, I have expanded the possible
families to search to include the other families of Maximilian HARDEN’s which
could include this putative great aunt:
LÖWENTHAL, KRAKAU or HIRSCH – and based on dates and ages, the LÖWENTHAL
family seems the most likely to contain a fit.
This remains a mystery of family history.
