Leben

in einer Aufzeichnung, die Jakob Rawicz's Tochter Hanna Keselmann 1996 aufschrieb, heißt es[1]:

My father Jakob Rawicz was the second of seven children. He worked as a designer and Dekorateur. He and Gisella Holzer (born Dec. 2, 1904 in Gorlice/Poland) married 1928/29 in Ansbach. Jakob Rawicz left Fürth on March 15, 1924 when he went to Vienna and Sofia, and returned to Fürth from Berlin on Febr. 6, 1926. I was born here on Dec. 6, 1930. In 1933 our family moved to France and lived in Bischheim/Alsace, until 1937, when they moved to Montreuil, Paris, where both my parents worked illegally. When the war started, I was sent to a children’s home run by the OSE. My father was sent to the camp des Milles near Marseilles. On August 13, 1942, he was put on a transport to Drancy, but he managed to escape and met with my mother near Lyon at my uncle Max and aunt Eva. My mother was arrested by the French police and tortured for three days, but somehow released. In May of 1943, I was reunited with my parents in Nice, which was under Italian occupation. There we had some protection from the Germans and we were taken by the Italian Army to Saint Gervais in the Haute Savoie. My family was kept there until Italy declared armistice, then part of our group was taken by train over the Alps into Italy, were we arrived on September 8, 1943. We were set free, but my father decided to stay on the train, going towards Rome, because the Allied Forces had already landed in Sicily. We stayed in Rome where my father was arrested on May 17, 1944, jailed in Regina Coeli, from there taken to Fossoli on May 22, 1944. He was put on a truck to Verona, August 1, 1944 but escaped again on crossing the Po river. He would have been deported on August 2, 1944 from Verona to Auschwitz (convoy 14). He was recaptured August 5, 1944 at Melara and was jailed in Rovigo. He was moved to the camp at Bolzano Gries and deported from there on Dec. 14, 1944 to Flossenbürg (Convoi 20, Prisoner Nr. 40027). He was killed on March 30, 1945 at Flossenbürg. My mother and I survived. On my fathers family my uncle Richard Rawicz and his family survived in Israel, as well as my Aunt Eva Rawicz and her two children, Eliane and Colette in France. My grandparents (Mechl Salomon and Feige R.) and my father’s other brothers and sisters (Jeanette Roos, Max R., Lilli Lissberger, Anni R.) did not survive.
