סיפור חיים

My Uncle Yitzchack Fortgang, was born in Galicia-Poland (formerly the Austro-Hungarian Empire). At the beginning of the 20th century, he immigrated to Stuttgart-Germany. He married my aunt Martha Ausubel (read her memorial page) and they had a son-Hermann (read is memorial page) and a daughter-Ruth (read her survivor page). My uncle alias Itche, worked as an accountant at a store in Stuttgart owned by a Jewish family. He was an orthodox Jewish believer but at the same time he possessed general education and was a football fan.

In the first years of the Nazi regime Itche was not among those who were determined to flee from Germany. Albeit the anti-Jewish harsh decrees, Itche trusted God in  hoping for an improvement of life in Germany. Following his expulsion to Poland in October 1938, with other Jews in Germany of Polish citizenship, he gradually changed his mind. In letters he had written to my Father in Palestine, with beautiful calligraphy , a growing concern regarding his future and his family's was expressed  as well as some cracks of belief in the Almighty.

In summer 1939, Itche with other Jews were allowed returning to Germany for a short period of time, to liquidate his businesses after which he should have returned to Poland with his wife and daughter.  In August 1939, Itcche and his wife Martha managed to send their daughter Ruth with the "Kindertransport" to England , never to see her again. Upon the outbreak of the 2nd World War on September 1st 1939, Itche was considered belonging to an alien country due to his Polish citizenship. However he was not arrested, probably because he had already applied for a visa to the U.S. for himself and his family.

On December 1st 1941, he was deported with his wife and son, in a transport of about one thousand Jews from Stuttgart to a concentration camp in Riga. Nothing has been known about their fate ever since. They were probably shot dead to mass graves on March 26th 1942, in a forest nearby Riga among 1600 adults and 240 children.
