Isidor and Ida Straus Perished Together
Isidor and Ida Straus were the owners of the Macy’s department store in New York. As the lifeboats were being loaded with women and children, Ida refused to leave her husband behind. Isidor also refused to board a lifeboat with his wife, demanding that all the women and children be saved first. Ultimately, the couple died together onboard the Titanic.
