Genocide of all Jews and persons labeled as Jews

Gabriela Kafková, married name Hermannová, was deported on one of the first transports from Prague to the Lodz ghetto in occupied Poland. Probably in the autumn of 1942, she was transported from the ghetto to the Chełmno death camp, where she was murdered by exhaust fumes. In this concentration camp, 82 children from the village of Lidice and 11 children from the settlement of Ležáky were also gassed in trucks.

Valerie Kafková, née Pollaková, was also deported to the Lodz ghetto, where she lived for some time together with her sister Gabriela. She too was apparently murdered in the death camp in Chełmno. As with the other victims, her body was burned and her ashes scattered around.

Otilie Kafková, married name Davidová, could have been protected from deportation by her marriage to a Catholic, Josef David. But he filed for divorce in February 1940 to avoid the impact of his marriage to a Jewish woman on his career. In August 1942 the marriage was dissolved, and in August Otilie was deported to the ghetto in Terezín. In October 1943, she volunteered as an adult escort for a transport of children from Terezin. The transport was bound for the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp, where they were all murdered in the gas chambers immediately upon arrival.
