Here was where Nina Katz, a Holocaust Survivor lived for the first twelve years of her life before she was sent on a cattle car to a Nazi work camp.

Cattle Cars
Here is a good example of what the cattle cars looked like when the Jews were crammed into these. (Here is probably one of the kind that Elie Wiesel described in the novel, Night)

Another Picture of Nina Katz
Nina Katz's family was taken to die at the Auschwitz concentration camp in 1939 while she was sent to Oberaltstadt to work in a textile factory in a slave labor camp where she was one of the few to survive to liberation in 1945.

Cherished Photo
Nina Katz sewed this photo of her parents into the hem of her apron to hide it from Nazis as she worked at a forced labor camp. Her parents and sister were killed in the Holocaust.
