Franziska (Fanny) Orowan, geb. Redlich (1860–1942), was the wife of a furniture dealer in Graz. In 1939 she had to relocate to Vienna, from where she was deported to Theresienstadt in 1942 and died a few days later. Hans Orowan (1888–1942) was a furniture dealer in Graz and the son of Wilhelm and Franziska Orowan. After the NS takeover, he fled to France, where he was interned upon the outbreak of war. In 1942 he was deported from Drancy to Auschwitz and murdered there.
