Pictures from Lothar's family



From my newly found relation Inge from Australia.

My grandfather's cousin (David Baumann), along with his wife and son (Marta and Lothar) and Marta's parents perished in the Holocaust.  Separately in Sobibor and Auschwitz.  I am planning to do a memorial in Amsterdam (their last known residence) 'sometime'

I received these pictures today from Inge (age 84 and Lothar's cousin).  They show Inge's parents and grandparents as well as pictures of Marta and a younger Lothar.  Most from 1937.  Maybe David is taking the pictures.

Let's take some lessons here.  Things were bad in Germany for Jews in 1937 but nobody in these pictures knew how much worse it would get.  So for us.
