הדף הזה עוסק במשפחת ברטנשטיין שבמאה ה19 גרה בשלזיה-פרוסיה;  איזור רטיבור, רטיבורהמר של גרמניה באותם ימים, קוזניה רצ'יבורסקה של פולין כיום.  סמוך להם, בישובים הסמוכים התגוררו משפחות נוספות באותו השם.  כך בערים כ גלייביץ Gliwice, רטיבור Ratibor וגם בביטום (בוייטן) Bytom. התרבות הייתה גרמנית, רוב המסמכים בגרמנית, ורק לאחר מלחמת העולם השנייה עבר האיזור סופית לפולין של היום.  עם המעבר למאה העשרים עברה המשפחה ברובה לברסלאו, וכך גם הענף המשפחתי שלי. שם המשפחה ברטנשטיין נחשב לנדיר וניתן להניח שזו משפחה אחת, כמו שבט שהתפזר ובמהלך השנים ולא נודעו עוד הקשרים המשפחתיים בתוכו. מלחמת העולם השנייה העמיקה את הפיזור ובני המשפחה שלא נספו (והרשימה כולה אינה שלמה) נפוצו לארגנטינה, ברזיל ארה"ב, וישראל, ובמשפחה המורחבת גם לדרום אפריקה, הולנד ואוסטרליה ועוד.
בקיץ 2015 מצאתי קרובי משפחה בדרגה שניה ושלישית (זה די קרוב!) בארגנטינה וברזיל. קרובים אלה נזכרים בפנקס קטן שהיה שייך להרברט גדיאל (1895-1955) אח של סבתי. הפנקס הגיע לידי רק בקיץ האחרון. שלום לסיזר ולדניאל שטראוס, ולבני משפחתם בברזיל וארגנטינה.

So, Afrer time in Ratibor area, Max and Freida arrived in Breslau. Many Jewish families of the erea joyend the White Stork Synagogue that was (and still is) near the Jewish Community offices, in Breslau. In the above list we do not see Hilda and Eva (1919-1961) and that meens that they were too young to be members in the community at the time of the list.

The family escaped to Buenos Aires in 1939, and in summer 1940 Eva Bartenstein (1919-1961) marreid Egon Strauss (1918-2006). Egon, who managed to escape form Austria in 1938, and succeeded to get his family out on time, and wrote the family story with many detais (in Spanish) 2004-5. A week after the above weding, Max Bartenstein died out of long time  illness. Buried in Tablada Cemetery, 7/9/1940 as Bartenstein Maximo.

Hans became a widower in October 1952. Annemarie died in an airplabe crash, in Singapore.
Hans took young Marcela with him back to Germany. He lived in Wuppertal and died there. Marcela got married. Connections with them got lost. (see more on this story at the above link, chapter 55 or so).
