Rita’s Story
“Mother, Father, Grandparents, Uncles, Aunts, Cousins, two sister and
two brothers – Bertha, Berl, Ida, and Yankule – did not survive. I miss
them and I cry everyday. They are always in my mind and in my heart.”
“The next morning we were transported back to Riga where I had left
my twin sister. We were so happy to be reunited and from then on, we
were always together.”
“I got very friendly with one girl and she told me her family name was
Hirsch. One of our uncle’s name was Hirsch and was married to our
aunt in Timisora, so to our surprise she and her sister were our uncle’s
nieces. We were very happy to have found some relatives.”
