Etty Dauber

This is my aunt Etty Dauber nee Weiner, my mother's elder sister, wearing a hat. The photo was taken in 1937.

My maternal grandfather's surname was Weiner and he came from Galicia as far as I know. I don't recall much about Grandmother Weiner either; I have no idea when the two of them settled in Sipot. They had three children: Etty Weiner, born in 1900, my mother, Gisela Weiner, born in 1904, and Adolf Weiner - but I don't know when he was born.

My mother's sister, Etty, married David Dauber. They had three daughters; my cousins' names were Roza, born in 1924, Suzana, nicknamed Coca, born in 1926, and Sarah, nicknamed Sally, born in 1932. Aunt Etty died in May 1940, before the deportation [to Transnistria]. Uncle David Dauber and his three girls were deported at the same time with us. My mother ended up in the same camp with Roza, while Coca and Sally were taken to an orphanage, as they were younger. Coca and Sally survived the Holocaust and left the country - but I couldn't tell you when or how they left. Coca is now living in Spain; I never met her again. She has a son who was born in 1950. Sally is living in the US, close to New York City.
