They may be labeled as outcasts or rebels, but in reality, they're the ones who are brave enough to challenge the status quo and forge their own path. Let's celebrate the black sheep in our lives - the ones who inspire us to think differently, to question the norms, and to embrace our individuality.

Isidor, Ida, and their maid, Ellen Bird (it was her first week on the job) were all offered seats on Lifeboat No. 8, however, Isidor refused to get onboard because there were still women and children on the sinking Titanic.

He urged his wife to stay on the lifeboat, but Ida refused, saying, “I will not be separated from my husband. As we have lived so will we die together.”

Ida then handed her fur coat to Bird, telling her that she would not be needing it, and ordered her to get on the lifeboat. The couple was last seen on the deck, standing arm in arm.

After Bird was rescued, she tried to give the fur coat to Sara Straus Hess, the eldest daughter. Sara refused, saying her mother would have wanted Bird to keep it.

In the 1997 Titanic film, the couple lying on the bed and holding hands (swipe left) is based on Ida and Isidor.
