Abstract:
John Alexander describes the family history - reaching back to ancestors in the early 16th century. The author's paternal grandfather Alfred Alexander, born 1880 in Bamberg, was a physician. In 1909 he married Henny Picard, daughter of the well known banker Lucien Picard and his wife Amalie Schwarzschild. Schwarzschild family tree with ancestors traced back to the 16th century. Alfred and Henny Alexander had 4 children - the youngest two were the twins Hanns and Paul, born 1917 in Berlin. They were living in an elegant apartment, which also contained the consultation room of Alfred Alexander's office. In 1923 Alfred founded a clinic for leukaemia patients, which acquired excellent reputation. In 1936 they emigrated to England, where Alfred continued to practice. His sons Hanns and Paul Alexander volunteered in the Pioneer Corps and fought against the Germans in France and Belgium.
