Judis Semler was two months old when she was given to the care of “Heim Isenburg” in September 1939. Her parents, Paul Semler born in Kolberg (Pomerania) in 1909, and the three-year younger Edith Semler née Sondheimer born in Munich. They lived in Berlin. Judis returned there from Neu-Isenburg at the beginning of July 1940.
On January 12, 1943, the three-year-old Judis was deported from Berlin together with her parents to the Auschwitz concentration and extermination camp. Rudolf Semler, who was born in 1937, Doris Semler, born in 1938, and Jona Semler, who was born in 1941, were possibly the siblings of Judis.
Edith Semler and her children were selected at the Auschwitz ramp on January 13, 1943, immediately after their arrival and were murdered in the gas chambers of Auschwitz-Birkenau. From this transport of about 1000 people, only 127 men were sent to the camp as prisoners (Gottwaldt/Schulle, p. 400). Paul Semler was apparently among them. He died at an unknown time in the Buchenwald concentration camp. Probably, he had arrived at the camp near Weimar at the beginning of 1945 on a death march from Auschwitz.
