Her Gleiwitz residence card shows that from 01.03.1939 Hermine, who was by then a widow, lived in Gleiwitz at Tarnowitzerstasse 8.

Gleiwitz residence cards exist for other Gadiels at the same address:
  • Erich, date and place of birth unknown, date of residence unknown, moved to Augsburg;
  • Kurt, born in Langendorf on 13.02.1912, emigrated to Bolivia in 1939;
  • Caezilie born in Gross Lassowitz (where Emil was also born) on 07.05.1878 who had lived at Tarnowitzerstrasse 8 since 1934, an unmarried sister of Emil (her card is marked "Frl" = Fraulein).

Gleiwitz residence cards


The 1939 census of Gleiwitz lists Hermine and Caecilie at Tarnowitzerstrasse 8 along with (among others) Emil's sister Jenny Lichtenstein geb. Gadiel.

Hermine and Caezilie were deported on 20.05.1942. Erich Gadiel, a son of Hermine, presumably the Erich mentioned above, submitted a testimonial to Yad Vashem stating that Hermine was deported Riga. However, another Yad Vashem record says she was deported to Auschwitz concentration camp.
