arbeka | Сделать Кафку былью

/вырвано из клевера/

Самая младшая из трех сестер Франца Кафки Оттла, которая осенью 1942 г. находилась в гетто Терезиенштадт под Прагой, вызвалась сопровождать группу еврейских детей-сирот в Аушвиц, чтобы поддержать их. И 7 октября 1942 г., когда транспорт пришел в лагерь, пошла с ними вместе в газовую камеру.
Другие две младшие сестры Кафки Элли и Валли погибли в Лодзинском гетто.

Kafka's parents, from traditional Jewish society, spoke German replete with influences from their native Yiddish; their children, raised in an acculturated environment, spoke Standard German.[16] Hermann and Julie had six children, of whom Franz was the eldest.[17] Franz's two brothers, Georg and Heinrich, died in infancy before Franz was seven; his three sisters were Gabriele ("Elli") (1889–1942), Valerie ("Valli") (1890–1942) and Ottilie ("Ottla") (1892–1943). All three were murdered in the Holocaust of World War II. Valli was deported to the Łódź Ghetto in occupied Poland in 1942, but that is the last documentation of her; it is assumed she did not survive the war. Ottilie was Kafka's favourite sister.[18]
....................
Valerie "Valli" Kafka Pollak (25 September 1890 in Prague – Fall of 1942 at Chełmno extermination camp) was the second oldest sister of Franz Kafka.[1][2]
Valli Kafka attended the German Girls' School in Prague and later a private further educational institution for girls. Little is known about Franz Kafka's relationship with his sister. Of all the siblings, she was supposedly the one who had the least trouble with her father, Hermann Kafka. Outwardly, she seemed discreet and adjusted, however she was well-read and inclined to language.

She married commercial employee Josef Pollak with whom she had two daughters, Marianne (1913–2000) and Lotte (1914–1931).[2] She became one of the first woman teachers in the Prague Jewish School founded in 1920.

In late October 1941 Valli and her husband were deported to the Łódź Ghetto where they lived together temporarily with Valli's sister Elli and her daughter Hanna in the spring of 1942. Valerie Pollak was probably murdered in the fall of 1942 in the Chełmno extermination camp.[2] Elli and the third sister Ottla as well as other relatives also became victims of the Holocaust. At the family grave in the New Jewish Cemetery in Prague, a plaque commemorates the three sisters.

Her first daughter Marianne emigrated to England along with her husband Georg Steiner in 1939. She looked after the inheritance of her uncle Franz Kafka lodged in the Bodleian Library in the University of Oxford.[3][4]
..............
Ottilie "Ottla" Kafka (29 October 1892 – 7 October 1943) was the youngest sister of Franz Kafka. His favourite sister, she was probably also the relative closest to him and supported him in difficult times. Their correspondence was published as Letters to Ottla. She was murdered in the Holocaust.
In July 1920, Ottla married the Czech Catholic Joseph David, against her father's will. Their daughters Věra (nicknamed Valli) and Helene (nicknamed Elli) were born in 1921 and 1923. Franz Kafka watched them grow up until he died in June 1924. The marriage was not happy and they were divorced in August 1942. Ottla thus lost her protection against the persecution of Jews.[4]

Like many other Jews from Prague, Ottla and her sisters were deported during World War II by the Nazis. Elli and Valli were sent with their families to the Łódź Ghetto, where they were murdered. Ottla was sent to the concentration camp at Theresienstadt. On 5 October 1943, Ottla accompanied a group of children as a voluntary assistant. When the transport reached Auschwitz concentration camp two days later, all were murdered in the gas chambers.
