Description

Her latest study was triggered by an intriguing news item stating that a transport list of 800 female concentration camp prisoners in April 1945 from Geislingen to Allach had been discovered. The names on this list led to a group of Jewish women and girls who were all originally from the Lodz area. Pursuing leads from various archives helped to form a picture of their life and times in that city and its ghetto, their short stay in Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen but also the months they spent in a local concentration camp located in Geislingen while doing slave labor for an internationally known local factory.
