الوصفCivil marriage certificate copy, issued by the Jewish Central Register for Czech and Moravia-Silesia, Prague 4 October 1946. Records the marriage of Herman Finger and Frantiska (Fani/Fanny) Sperlingova on 28 September 1917. Herman and Fanny were also married in a Jewish ceremony a few years prior.
Herman was born in Cernauti (Bukovina, Romania) in 1888, a town with approximately 60,000 Jews before World War II. Herman was a poor tailor. He, Frantiska, and their four sons, Adolf, Sol (later Salo), Benno and David were forced to relocate to the Cernauti ghetto.
Benno described his father as non-religious, whilst his mother Frantiska was very religious. He also said that his parents were happily married despite their low socio-economic status.
Frantiska and Herman were separated from Benno when he and his wife Fella were taken to Bershad concentration camp. They later reunited, travelled to Bondurovka camp, where they were liberated in 1944, and were separated again until they returned to Cernauti.
Herman and Frantiska migrated to Australia in 1949, a year after Benno, Fella and their newborn daughter Lily. Herman and Benno bought a dry-cleaning/tailor shop together but his father died three weeks later from cancer. Frantiska died from illness a year after.
This marriage certificate is part of a collection of identity cards, glasses, dentures and other memorabilia belonging to Herman Finger, donated by his son Benno in 1993.
