Synopsis

They were made to be together. Shared the same birthday, were both of Jewish descent, and both emigrated from Germany to US. Married in 1871. Isidor worked in his father's store, which became part of Macy's, he worked hard until he became part owner of Macy's. Ida was a housewife, mom of 7 children. Whenever Isidor traveled on business, she faithfully wrote to herself. They were very much in love and really hated being apart. Other times they would vacation in California. They had to go to Europe because of the death of their husband. On the boat, they befriended Gracie and he tried to convince Ida to enter lifeboat. She almost did, but when Gracie then offered Isidor a place on the ship because of his wealth and status, Isidor refused because the lifeboats still had no women and children. “I will not go before other men. Ida stood by Isidore and said: “We lived together for many years. Where you go, I go too". They replaced their maid and gave her a fur coat. The last time anyone saw them, they were sitting side by side on deckchairs while the ship sank. Finally, they were swallowed up by the ocean. History will not forget the love and devotion of Isidore and Ida Straus. Despite of first-class status, they did not expect special treatment and preferred to die together rather than be separated. After Ellen Bird's rescue, she contacted the their daughter, Sara, to return the coat. Sara thanked her but said, "This coat is yours. I want you to keep it in memory of my mother”.
