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.
