Rahela Koen

This is my aunt Elica Koen with her husband. They were married right before the war. They had a small child, Avram, when the war started. Witnesses have told us that while Rahela - that was her Jewish name - and the baby were being transported she threw the baby through the wiring into the grass next to the tracks in the hope that someone would find it and save it. We never learned anything about what happened to the baby.
