Hanni Brandstadter lived in Leipzig, Germany. She worked in the fur business while raising her only child. In October 1938, Hanni and her daughter Erika Weiser were among the 17,000 Jews deported to Poland. This occurred a month after Great Britain, France, and Italy attempted to appease Hitler by allowing the annexation by Germany of Sudetenland in western Czechoslovakia. For the next several years, Hanni and her daughter were enslaved in the Krakow Ghetto. In 1941, Hanni and her daughter were sent to Międzyrzec Podlaska where few Jews survived the mass murders by the Nazis and their collaborators. Hanni was murdered in the Holocaust. Her only child, Erika Weiser, survived Auschwitz. May Hashem Avenge Her Blood. השם יקום דמה

Tomas Kohn was the son of Nicholas Kohn and Eva Klein Kohn. He was born in Czechoslovakia in 1936. In 1944, Tomas and his mother were rounded up and forced to Auschwitz. Upon arrival, Tomas was taken from his mother, stripped naked, and led into the showers. Instead of water, poisonous Zyklon B gas poured down. The nine-year-old child suffocated to death after suffering for many minutes. The murdered body of this beautiful, innocent, sweet child was then dragged to the ovens and burned. Years later, when his parents died, they left instructions to be cremated. Just like their son. May Hashem Avenge His Death. השם יקום דמו
