Notes

Named as the father of Erna and described as a hairdresser (Friseur) in her application for employment in Breslau's Jewish hospital. His profession and the family home in Breslau point to this being the same person as the subject of a Yad Vashem testimonial by his daughter Erna Eva (Khava) which gives his date of birth as 05/01/1880 and names his wife as Rosa geb. Urbainczyk. The testimonial says that Heinrich had 7 children, while the Khava's testimonial to her step-mother Rosa says she had 2 children, and her testimonial to her sister Margot names Margot's mother as Regina; it appears from this that Heinrich was married first to Regina, then to Rosa. Regina was dead by the time their daughter Margot married in 1929, so a re-marriage is quite plausible.

Heinrich and Rosa are listed in the Breslau synagogue community address list (ca 1930) at Augustastrasse 186 with Georg and Artur, presumably their sons; this source gives Heinrich's date of birth as 05/01/1872. Daughter Herta's school reports covering the period 1933-37 document the family's move from Augustastrasse to Sonnenstrasse 36.

Yad Vashem also has a record of his deportation on 04/03/1943 to Auschwitz concentration camp, which gives his date of birth as 05/01/1882.

A member's tree on ancestry.com identifies Heinrich's parents as Siegmund Nothmann and Linna geb. Kuznitzky. However, regardless of whether Heinrich was born in January 1880 or January 1882 his birth would not fit between those of Siegmund and Linna's other children.

A tree in JewishGen's "A Family Tree of the Jewish People" project shows Georg and Artur as sons of Herrmann Nothmann and Charlotte Nebel. At the time of the 1939 census Herrmann and Charlotte lived at Sonnenstrasse 42 while Herrmann's daughter Rosalie lived at Sonnenstrasse 38, so it is tempting to speculate that there was a close connection between Heinrich and Herrmann.
