Six members of the Kopfstein family, all born in Lockenhaus, died in the Shoa. Research on the Kopfstein family was done on the Internet. Different research sites, family tree data, private records, research of email contact persons, etc. were compared and verified as far as possible. With high probability the few data to be read here correspond to the fate of the members of the Kopfstein family with the facts. Further research and results are only possible by visiting the archives of the mentioned concentration camps or by further search in the internet archives.
