On this #HolocaustMemorialDay I pay particular tribute to two relatives whose existence and tragic loss I recently discovered.
Siblings Ludwig Sinsheimer and Eugenie Reuter were deported from their homeland, Germany, by the Nazis.
They died in 1942.
🧵
Ludwig, 67, was deported to Gurs, France in October 1940 in the Wagner-Bürckel-Aktion-the expulsion of Jews from southwest Germany.
Originally used to intern Spanish Republicans, Gurs was turned by the Nazis & Vichy France into a camp for deported Jews.
