Photographs from the Estate of Isabel Wachenheimer

anoniem, 1922 - 1923

In 1928 a daughter, Isabel, was born to Eugen and Else Wachenheimer. In 1934 they posed before the family home in Stuttgart on Isabel’s first day of school. The photograph at the lower right was taken almost ten years later (1943) in the Westerbork transit camp. Isabel had been rounded up in Amsterdam five months earlier. The family was first sent to Theresienstadt and then on to Auschwitz-Birkenau, where Eugen and Else were gassed. Isabel was condemned to forced labour.
