Recollection of Kaethe Beutler:

The most prominent of my fathers relatives was Carl Frstenberg.
He was my fathers age, and in Danzig they were very close friends. When
they both lived in Berlin they saw each other sometimes at first. However,
he was very much more successful than my father and became president of a
bank. During the first years of my parents marriage they saw him now and
then, but later, he got married to a girl of prominent gentile family, and
from this day on, he cut himself off from his family, at least socially. I
know that he supported financially one of his brothers, and a niece who was
a widow and practically without any money. I knew this niece pretty well;
she was of course very proud of her uncle, but she was never invited to his
house. She just received her monthly check. Carl Frstenberg had access to
Kaiser Wilhelm II, probably because he was very witty and could tell Jewish
jokes. The Kaiser was known to like Jewish jokes. Another Jew who was
invited to the court for this purpose was the cellist Grnfeld. I think my
father was rather bitter about his cousins behavior, and hurt. He never
spoke of him. There were some more cousins of my father, but they were
more or less dull. There was another aunt whom I remember, who lived in
Danzig, but came to Berlin once in a while to visit her granddaughter there.
She had two bachelor sons in Danzig who had a yard goods store for mens
suits. These cousins were really the only ones whom my father liked. One
of them came frequently to Berlin and visited us there. I remember that he
brought us a box of the very delicious Danziger marzipan every time.
