Holocaust survivor Inge Deutschkron has died at age 99. She hid in Berlin during the Third Reich to escape deportation to Nazi death camps. Deutschkron published an autography “I wore the yellow star” about her dramatic survival story as a Jew in Berlin.
Deutschkron was born in 1922, in Finsterwalde, a town about 100 kilometers south of Berlin. She moved to the German capital when she was 5.“Don’t put up with anything, fight back,” the mother instructed her and this slogan became Deutschkron’s life-long motto, her foundation said.
Weidt supported mainly deaf and blind workers, many of whom were Jews, and it was with the help of Weidt that Deutschkron managed to evade deportation. From January 1943, Inge lived illegally in Berlin and its surrounding area, and hid with her mother in order to survive. At one of her hiding places she watched from her window as other Jews were taken out of their homes by Nazi secret police and forced to climb onto wagons.
