Todd,

The card says: "For a nice memory to my relatives"
I don't know who he is, but I noticed that the photo has a stamp of Antwerpen, so I did some search, and found a Belgium immigration record that seem to much his family (a wife, 3 sons and a daughter).

Note that Belgium surrendered to the Nazi's in 1940. 25,437 Jews were deported primarily to Aushwitz from Belgium of which only 1,207 survived.

"That’s my dad, Bernard (Ben) Schoichet the tallest and eldest son. My uncle Nathan (Nat) Schoichet in the sailor outfit, and my uncle Seymour Schoichet (the youngest boy).

The little girl on the right is Jean who married Louis Lemberger. And the woman at the top right is Rose Schoichet. She married Louis when her sister (his original wife) died. Oh don’t know his first wife’s name.

Everyone in the photo has died.

An interesting fact is that Grandpa Louis was about 6’9” — he pronounced his last name as Shockit as did my family. My uncle Nat pronounced it Shoyket as do his sons, my cousins Ellis and Sandor.

Uncle Seymour pronounced is like it was French — Swashay! One of his daughters is Evette and I can’t remember his other daughter’s name. One of his daughters married someone with the last name of Brilliant and they had a son Gregg.

That’s about all I know, but my sisters Harriet (married to the late Marvin Roth); Naomi (currently married to Jeffrey Caspe) and Sandra (currently married to Elias Shahvar) might know more.

Sandor Schoichet in San Rafael did some kind of family tree, so you might want to contact him." - Barbara Schoichet
