"I will not be separated from my husband. As we have lived, so will we die, together." Isidor Straus was co-founder of the Macy's Department Store. Ida Straus was his wife.
The Jewish couple was known for their shared love; almost always together and writing daily to each other when apart.
Exactly 111 years ago, on April 14th, 1912, they were passengers on the Titanic. As the ship began to sink, Ida alone was offered a seat in a lifeboat. She refused. "We have lived together for many years. Where you go, I go," she said to her husband.
The two were then offered a seat together in another lifeboat. But with many women and children still on the Titanic, Isidor refused to take the seat. Once again, his wife refused as well.
Passengers remarked that what they saw was a "most remarkable exhibition of love and devotion." The couple were last seen sitting side by side on Titanic’s Boat Deck.
Isidore’s brother Nathan had a completely different fate, he and Lina took a detour to Palestine, expecting it to be but one stop of many, but they never made it back to the Titanic.
He wrote, "On reaching Jerusalem, we changed our plans. All that we saw in the Holy Land made such a deep impression on us that we gave up the idea of going to other places. Visiting the holy sites of which one hears and reads since childhood, watching the scenes in life as pictured in the Bible, was most soul-stirring. From that time on we felt a strange and intense desire to return to the land."
Nathan never recovered from the loss of his brother and continued his philanthropic activities for the rest of his life. The Israeli city of Netanya (Hebrew: Natan, for Nathan), founded in 1927, was named in his honor, and Rehov Straus (Straus Street) in Jerusalem, which was Chancellor Avenue during the British Mandate, was also named for him.

How in my 14 years of Titanic being one of my special interests, am I just now learning that their might have been an uncontrolled coal fire? That the possible reason for them going so fast was the workers trying to get as much of the burning coal as they could into the furnaces? I have spent years trying to learn everything and anything I can about this goddamned boat, and I'm still learning new things!
#titanic#coal fire#april 14 1912#autism#special interests#this goddamned boat had so much going on#my mom use to say i had a past life on that boat with how obsessively I looked into it#I was 8 years old when this started
