Fate of Mother
Do you know what happened to her?
Well, not very much. I know that she stayed--they stayed together, the family--that means Walter, Frieda and my mother Erma. They moved from Beroun to Prague. They were taken by transport to ???...Terezin. Um, my mother--she was, I don't know why, but there were--as far as I found out there was two transports from Ter...Terezin in August 1942 to the east, to Riga and um, that's about the last thing I know. I know that--to the ghetto in Riga and I know that the ghetto Riga was exterminated and very few people survived. I think she must've been in a labor camp somewhere. Uh, the dates of my uncle and aunt, they went from ??? to Auschwitz and Dachau I think. I have the dates, I got the dates from uh, through ??? Terezin and through Yad Vashem.
