Dear friends and colleagues,
As part of my research about Otto Heller (1897-1945), the Austrian communist of Jewish origin, I am looking for a contact with his only daughter Lilli, or any of her descendants or relatives.
Lilli was born probably in the late 1920's. In the late 1930's she was in exile in France together with her parents. In 1943 Otto was deported to Auschwitz, and Lilli with her mother Emma to Ravensbrück (a women concentration camp in Germany). Otto did not survive, but Lilli and Emma were liberated and came back to live in Paris.
Since the information about Heller is scarce - any connection to the family could be very helpful.
Please pass this message over to anyone that might have any idea how to reach Lilli or other relatives.
If you have any information that could lead to Lilli, or another relative - please contact me through [email protected]
Gratefully,
