Shortly thereafter , the village 's three remaining Jewish residents , the widower Isidor Rothschild , his brother Sigmund and Sigmund 's wife Blondine were taken away to the camps . The last two named are believed to have died at Theresienstadt . Two of their four daughters , too , were murdered in the camps . The other two , and also Isidor 's son , survived the Holocaust and later lived in the United States
