  Hans Werner Golz (Goldlust), married with Ida Reiss
Hans Werner Goldlust was born on August 21st, 1902 at Goethestr. 8 in the then independant town of Charlottenburg near Berlin. He had his Bar Mizwa at the Fasanenstr. Synagogue.

When grown up he distanced himself from his Jewish background and changed his name (unofficially) to "GOLZ". It is said that he took the name from a figure in Ernest Hemingway's "For Whom the Bell Tolls".

He did not complete his grammar school education and left home in 1920 (aged 18) and worked as an advertising salesman. He met Marianne Wengraf (nee Belokostolska) in 1924, who was Viennese born (31.1.1895) and who had been working as an opera singer in Salzburg. Marianne had married the (Jewish) music publisher Wengraf and had moved with him to Berlin, where they lived at Wittenbergplatz off the Kurfürstendamm. Hans probably met her in Berlin and they fell in love. The Austrian composer Nico Dostal mentions both Marianne and Hans in his biography. There are archive photos of Hans, Marianne, Nico Dostal and wife.

By now Hans had become head of the advertising department of the "Literarische Welt". He developed a very close friendship to the (Jewish) editor-in-chief Willy Haas and advanced to managing director by 1929. Willy Haas mentions Hans in his book about the "Literarische Welt" (Munich 1957, Page 188).
Hans marries Marianne on March 21st, 1929 at the registrar's office Berlin-Wilmersdorf. Willy Haas is best man. The couple move to Osnabrücker Str. 21 (today Bielefelder Str.) in Berlin-Wilmersdorf. They are joined by Josef & Rosa Goldlust and by Ilse (Goldlust) and Ernst Neumann in 1932.

After Hitler comes to power on January 30th, 1933 Willy Haas and Hans sell the "Literarische Welt" and emigrate with their wives to Prague, where they try to publish a German literature magazine. The attempt fails and Hans becomes a free-lace journalist for Mitropress, Paris. Hans and Marianne live at the Stroßmeyerstr.4 in Prague. Josef and Rosa Goldlust, Ilse and Ernst Neumann follow them to Prague.
Hitler marches into Prague on March 15th, 1939. Hans flees via Poland and reaches England on May 4th, 1939. Marianne, Josef and Rosa, Ilse and Ernst Neumann are stuck in Prague. Josef commits suicide out of desperation on August 13th, 1939 at Hotel Merkur, Prague. Ilse and Ernst Neumann are deported to Lodz Ghetto on November 11th, 1941 and to their deaths at Chelmno on May 19th, 1942. Rosa is deported to Theresienstadt on June 20th, 1942 and from there to her death at Treblinka on October 22nd, 1942.

Marianne systematically continues to help Jews to escape Prague. She is betrayed by a Jewess (Synek) to the Gestapo and is arrested on November 19th, 1942. At a show trial in Prague Marianne is sentenced to death on May 18th, 1943 and is beheaded at Prag-Pancraz prison on October 8th, 1943. Hans hears of Marianne's death during the War in London.

Hans officially changes his name to "Golz" upon arrival in Britain and is naturalised under this name. Hans meets Ida Reiss in 1940 on a telephone exchange in London.

Ida Reiss (-ova)was born in the Moravian village of Straznice on June 30th, 1905. Her father , Isidor was a wealthy distiller and owned large fruit orchards and vineyards in the surrounding countryside of Straznice. The Reiss familly has a long history in the region. At the time of Ida's birth Moravia is part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. She uses German at home and at the Straznice (Jewish) Primary School, while speaking Czeck on the street. She attends Grammar School at Straznice and studies pharmaceutics at Karlsbad (German) University. She receives an au-pair visa for England and leaves Czechoslovakia in 1939.

Michael is born on June 29th, 1941. After official confirmation of Marianne's death after the war, Hans marries Ida on November 13th, 1945. Ronald George (Ronnie) is born on July 7th, 1947.

Hans and Ida leave Britain in 1958 owing to financial difficulties and the fact that Hans always felt very much a stranger in Britain apart from the fact that he spoke English with a very strong German accent. They settle in Cologne. Hans becomes a salesman for British products in West Germany, while Ida does part-time work as a chemist. Hans is successful as a salesman for business consulting and for summer houses on the Mediterranean in Italy and Spain. He dies of an heart attack in Cologne-Lindenthal on August 28th, 1969 (aged 67). Ida dies in Cologne-Porz of abdominal cancer on July 19th, 1976 (aged 71).
Michael lived in digs while completing his schooling. Ronnie is put in a boarding school in Worthing, Sussex. In 1960 (aged 13) Ronnie left Britain for Germany because he did not like boarding school at all. He continued his schooling in Germany. In 1965 he went to Cologne University to study Economics. He qualified in 1970 and moved to West Berlin in 1971 where he began work in adult education.

Ronnie (unoffiially) adopts the son of his common-law wife Heidi, Eli(a)s Phillip at birth on April 21st, 1988.

Ronnie marries Kristina Westerhoff on December 29th 1995. Their son David was born on July 17th 1996.
