Held to Profendienr to Shramm
My father, Albert Joseph Shramm, was born in what is now Bratislava, Slovakia (then Hungary) on August 12, 1915. He was born under the name of Bela Held, son of Anna Maria Walther Held and Paul Richard Held. He was the BIOLOGICAL son of Albert Profendiener, who adopted him by law before immigrating with him to the United States where they took the name of Shramm.
