Nashelsky family
Biography
Julius (1887) and Friedl (1897) Nashelsky were married in Gudensberg, Germany in 1919 and were parents of Dieter (1920), Margot (1921), and Gunter Martin (1926). Julius Nashelsky served in the German army during WWI and was a leader in the small town. Gudensberg and nearby villages were easy prey for the Nazis in Hitler’s very early years. Hitler chose Gudensberg and four other small villages with viable Jewish communities in his experiments of hatred, persecution, and violence far from larger centers of population. Julius Nashelsky had a brother in Oklahoma who sponsored the family to come to the United States. The family left Germany in January of 1934, settled first in Oklahoma, and then established a Ben Franklin store in Fowler, Colorado. When Julius and Friedl Nashelsky wanted to retire around 1950, Victor and Margot Stone took over the store.
