She was deported by Transport XIV, under number 667, on 24 October 1942. Transports XIV and XV left together in 3rd class passenger wagons for Auschwitz-Birkenau. The deportees arrived at their destination on 26 October 1942. Gerda Schwarz did not survive her deportation. Heinrich or Henri Finder, born in Wojnicz, 5 May 1896, and his son Herbert (born on 22 April 1929) were arrested at Pujaudran in France on 26 August 1942. They were held for a few days in the Le Vernet camp before being transported to Drancy. They were deported together on 4 September 1942 on the 28th transport from France to Auschwitz-Birkenau. Father and son both survived their deportation. They were liberated at Dachau-Allach by American troops and repatriated to Belgium. They emigrated to the United States in 1947.
