Reply from Olga: Question your mother again soon before she dies. Once she dies, finding answers will be harder. And you really want to know her experiences personally. Tell her how important it is for you to share her life story. When I questioned my mother, she left out a lot too and took important secrets to her grave. She kept saying 'why do you want to know'. It was a impossibly difficult time for them. They had to summon up courage on a daily basis just to make it through the day. They were truly deprived of happiness, of their childhood and of all their possessions. They witness their family members die by bombs, torture or starvation. Squashed into too small living quarters with too little sanitation, they were infected with lice and TB. Czech site holocaust http://holocaust.valka.cz/newdesign/v400/show_html.php?id=364
Dear Olga: The above text in English translation: http://www.bafl.de/template/englisch/index_englisch_about_us.htm A search at Google will turn up a German language page showing a photo of barracks at the camp, at a Web site about Nürnberg (Nuremberg). The camp was named for the city of Valka that straddles the border between Estonia and Latvia, and the name stuck even after the refugees from those two countries left around 1949 and were replaced by refugees from other nations. Thanks for your efforts. Sincerely, Dale Chock
2/11/05 ----------- Nov 26, 2013 G'day Olga, found your website and am wondering if you may know how i can get information on records from valka camp? My father and grandma were both at that camp around 47. any direction you could give would be wonderful. Thanks!

2) If there are any people who knew him? 3) If you have any documentation about Vilseck. 4) I know that he was living in Munchen.
