Lieselotte Burger and Ema Panovova

Report an issue

This is my cousin Lieselotte Burger (first from left) and me playing at her grandparents’. I don’t recall the other girl. The photo was taken in Holic in 1937. She sent me this photo. She found it among her old photos.

My mother’s second husband, Doctor Panov, adopted me and brought me up. He saved my life because with the help of his colleague doctors he proved at court that I was his daughter and that I was the child of a Jewish mother and a Christian father.

My cousin Lieselotte managed to survived the Holocaust. She emigrated to America in the last moment.
