Elsa Katz
They had two daughters, Eva (the oldest) and Vera (the youngest), ranging from 1924 to 1926. Their lives were disrupted by the German invasion of Bohemia and Moravia (provinces of Czechoslovakia) in March 1939. When those provinces surrendered, the Germans began occupying Bohemia and Moravia. Over the years, the persecution and deportation of the Jews began. On 8 May 1942, Elsa, her mother, her husband and their two daughters were put on transport to Theresienstadt. Elsa's mother was in a semi-conscious state, when they arrived in the ghetto, and therefore died shortly afterwards. After her, Elsa's daughter Eva died one year later in 1943 from a disease.
