"After he lost the business, my grandfather and his second wife left Wurzberg for Berlin and lived in a hotel as two poor people until they could get on a ship for Palestine, where my father was already living. So you see, they were trying to reach their son. They had a beautiful home with a garden [in Wurzberg]. I believe they lost that, too. Why else would they have gone to that hotel?"
En route, Ruschkewitz and his wife died of typhus aboard ship. Their bodies were thrown overboard near the island of Crete.
Their other son, Ernst, who stayed behind in Germany, was killed at the Buchenwald concentration camp on March 31, 1945 -- three weeks before the end of the war. [1] |
