Notes from Gertrud (Wolfgang) Orman, the person who submitted the material: Before the war, Karl and Julie Wolfgang lived in Vienna together with their daughter, Gertrud. Gertrud was sent to England on a Kindertransport, 25 April 1939. In October 1939, Karl Wolfgang, who was born in Austria in 1892, was sent to Dachau together with three of his wife's brothers, Joseph, Siegfried and David Weissman. From Dachau they were sent to Auschwitz where all four men perished. Julie was employed at the hospital in Vienna. Karl's older sister was concerned lest Julie hurt herself after losing all her relatives, and she asked that the hospital keep her as busy as possible. Julie started with sanitary duties, but she ended up as nursing supervisor for all the nurses in the hospital. She survived due to the fact that she never used her food ration cards because she ate only kosher food. She would give her cards to her supervisor to be used for the patients, and the supervisor, apparently, would use the card for herself. The supervisor was interested in maintaining this arrangement and using Julie's ration cards, and therefore she let Julie remain in the hospital and did not send her to Theresienstadt as requested.
