We have so far totally failed to estrablish whether Betty and Bernhard Goldberg had any children
We did discover that the natural father of Marga was KNOWN to the authorities. He was a Friedrich SCHILLER.
Although we know Friedrich's 1941 adderess and the fact that he was taken into the Tank Corps, we have failed
to identify him.
A picture - but not yet clarity is slowly emerging from archival research in Berlin:
