Zwischen Tag und Dunkel
註釋Memoirs of a German Jew, born in Mönchengladbach in 1923, who was deported in December 1941 to the Riga ghetto, together with her husband, two weeks after they married. One week earlier 23,000 Jews who had been interned in the ghetto were massacred, and the newcomers took their place. Sherman's husband was sent to Salaspils for forced labor but, like 12,000 other Jewish prisoners, he perished there. In the ghetto, Sherman experienced forced labor, starvation, sickness, and selections. In 1943 she learned about the deportation of her parents, brother, and sister. Resistance which was organized in the ghetto was betrayed before an uprising could take place, and 342 Jews were murdered. In December 1943 the ghetto was liquidated. Sherman was sent to Mühlgraben, then to Libau, where she worked in the laundry. In March 1945 she participated in a death march to Hamburg and then to Kiel, where she was liberated. Through the intervention of Count Bernadotte, she was transferred to Sweden, dangerously ill. Her entire extended family was murdered during the Holocaust.
