Further Information

This is a photograph of Ruth David's uncle Gustav. Uncle Gustav lived with Ruth's aunt Ida in Fränkisch-Crumbach, Germany, in an old house belonging to her grandparents. Gustav had been born with limited mobility and was never able to walk without the assistance of cruches which Ruth remembers he used to 'swing' himself on to move. Ruth remembers visiting her aunt and uncle as a young child. During the 1938 November Pogrom, Ida was badly attacked and their house was vandalised. Gustav and Ida were murdered during the Holocaust, having been deported to Theresienstadt separately, and Ida further sent to Auschwitz.
