How long and why Rolf H. was in the care of “Heim Isenburg” is uncertain. His name is recorded only in the first list of home residents which was put up in September 1935. Afterward, Rolf H. apparently returned to his mother in the vicinity of Karlsruhe. Rolf H. and his mother Rosa were deported in October 1940 in the wake of the so-called "Wagner Bürckel Event" from their Baden hometown to French internment camp of Gurs. From there, the seven-year-old could be saved to the United States in 1941, under circumstances which were not clarified. Probably a Jewish underground organization helped the child to escape. His mother was deported from the Drancy “Sammellager” to the concentration and extermination camp in Auschwitz on August 10, 1942.:
