Once it was clear Titanic was sinking, his wife Ida would not get into a lifeboat without him.
Although Isidor was offered a seat in a lifeboat to accompany Ida, he would not take it as there
were still women and children aboard. Ida insisted her maid get into lifeboat #8, giving the maid
her fur coat. She said she would not be needing it, and “I will not be separated from my husband.
As we have lived, so will we die, together.”
