In 2006 a page from a local online polish newspaper (‘Kurier’, perhaps sort of weekly/monthly newsletter) from Krapkowice (formerly Krappitz, on the Oder river) in the Opole (Oppeln) district of Upper Silesia gives a report on the remaining gravestones of a jewish (‘zydowski’) cemetery in a little town nearby namend Gogolin (same in German):
http://krapkowice.net/print/kurier,art,id_9045
A search of this text with ‘cassirer’ finds: ‘Cassirera’ (a: genitive), ‘Simona Cassirera’ (Simon Cassirer), ‘*Simon* Cassirer (ur. 19. X. 1848 r., zm. 5.VIII.1914 r.)’ (‘ur.’ = born, ‘r.’ = year, ‘zm.’ = died), ‘*Leopold* Cassirer (ur. 28.VIII.1847 r., zm. 27. I.1927 r.)’, ‘*Ida* Cassirer ( ur. 28. VIII. 1858 r., zm. 22. IX. 1921 r.)’, and ‘Ernestine Cassierer (ur. w 1817 roku)’ (CassiErer).
This may suggest where these Cassirers might come from: However the two Simon Cassirer’s so far identified for the Markus Cassirer line do not fit. The first ‘Simon’ is son of Moritz Cassirer and Jettel Retfeld, born perhaps in 1870/80. The second Simon is son of Gerson Cassirer and Rebecca Mendel Burgheim, born in 1805.
It is not possible that Gerson (born 1772) had another Simon, the one with the Gogolin gravestone, born in 1848 since Gerson would be 76 years old by then.
The nearest Cassirer living in this region we know of is Siegfried Cassirer (1805) the brewer (<http://www.schlesien-bonn.de/podukte/brauereiverzac.htm> in Oberglogau, Kreis Neustadt (now Glogowek), only some 15 km from Krappitz / Gogolin.
Siegfried is (apart from the ‘main line Markus’) the only other one of the known 7 sons of Moses ben Loebel and Pesel for which we have details.
Simon’s brother who is probably Leopold and his wife Ida, nee Craemer (Crämer) shows up among the names of Yadvashem as parents of *Moritz* Cassirer (born in Gogolin, 7/4/1890). After two KZs, he perished with his wife *Edith*, nee Strumpfner (1892, Lissa, Poland), in Warszawa in 1942. This is according to a document delivered in 1994 by their escaped son, *Franz Leopold,* from Ingarö, Sweden.
The White Pages of Sweden, show *Robert Cassirer* lives in Ingarö. In other places in Sweden other Cassirers, can be found living, most of them busy with a rather big car rental (‘Biluthyrning’) firm. (Dr. Peter Cassirer, also in Sweden, of course is not from the Moritz - Franz-Leopold - line.)
The presentation by Eli Serk-Hansen at the Berlin Reunion in 2002 is consistent with her being the sister of Franz Cassirer, mentioned above.

570. Irene Newhouse, “Re: very early Cassirer stuff +,” 11 Aug 2005, Jim Falk email archive.
Irene has established that David Koenigsberger appears in the Yad Vashem database through the following reasoning: “I started in 1930, as from 1932 on, Jews usually disappear from directories. There was only 1 David Koenigsberger, a Dr., & he had a Charlottenburg address. I jumped to 1935. He's still there, at Berlinerstr 97, the address from which Toni was deported, so this is them. Ditto for 1936. I then tried 1939 & 1940, but by then the directories were totally useless for any name, Jewish or otherwise... So I think we can assume that the David Koenigsberger from Berlin in the Yad Vashem database is Toni's husband, though it would be nice to have independent info on birthdate, or that he came from Lublinitz.”
In Yad Vashem (the database of Holocaust victims) a search for his wife, Toni nee Cassirer using her maiden name limited to Berlin brings up 2 listings for Toni Koenigsberger - both for the same person with her last residence in Berlin: Charlottenburg, Berlinerstr 97. She was taken to Theresienstadt on transport I/64. Repeating the search for Koenigsberger, David & Berlin again gives 2 listings, with him also deported on transport I/64 from Berlin.
