Holocaust memorial day

Thank you for registering to receive information from Yad Vashem. The Lord provided; and how thankful I was and will ever be! We needed each other — we hungered together, we stood the cold and had no way to heat the place. When the war reached Vienna, we went night by night down to the cellar, seeking protection from the bombs.

We never knew if somebody would recognize me or if the walls would come down on us or if fire would break out. Yes, it broke out in a neighbor's house and underneath our living room. Concerning Mrs. Ottensteiner, the woman who took care of the people who lived in the big house Annagasse 8, she was satisfied with Dorothea's explanation about me — that I was bombed out in Cologne and was a visitor each time only for a few days.

As I left the house very seldom, she might have believed it or she might have thought about the real fact. At any rate, she did not ask again if she should bring foodstamps for me, too. I had to be taken to a hospital because of a lump in my breast. No Jews were allowed there, but I was smuggled in by a false name under the pretense that all my papers had been burned in Cologne during a bomb attack.

So Dorothea's name Schmitt her former married name was placed over my head on my bed. At Yad Vashem, we strive to make the world a better place by combating antisemitism through teacher training, international lectures and workshops and online courses.

Holocaust quotes

Thinking of this situation sometime later, when I read Isaia , I realized God's promise — he not only gave me those wonderful friends, but as the prophet says: "When thou passest through the waters I will be with thee…and through the rivers they shall not overflow thee; when thou walkest through the fire thou shalt not be burned, neither shall the flame kindle on thee" All of us were in the terror of the Nazi persecution and of the war: bombs and grenades flew through the city of Vienna.

Holocaust history: When the deportations of the Jews to the East began, Dorothea tried in vain to find a hiding-place for her friend, and even went to Berlin for that purpose. It seems that she reached the conclusion that she had exhausted all possibilities of helping her friend.
