Initially Gertruds relationship with our parents was
rather difficult; for her they were like strangers, and
she really missed her foster parents. Only I was rather
familiar to her, since prior to my arrest I had met with
her several times, and after my liberation I had seen
her as well.
At that time we didn’t know any particulars about
Emilie, however, we certainly hoped that she was
alive. Only later we had to find out, that our Milly
perished on May 21, 1943.
