Israel Peter Trzeciak is the son of Ilse Trzeciak, who is also recorded in this Memorial Book. He had three older siblings.

In the beginning of September 1939 Peter Trzeciak came to the Neu-Isenburg Home of the Jewish Women's Association together with his mother. Both remained until the forced dissolution of the institution of "Heim Isenburg." Ilse was in a desperate situation. She had been divorced by her non-Jewish husband a few weeks before her arrival in Neu-Isenburg, and she was completely destitute.

On 21 March1942, Peter and Ilse Trzeciak were deported to Mainz. Where they lived there is not known. On 10 February 1943, mother and son were deported from Darmstadt to the Theresienstadt ghetto. On 1 October 1944, both were taken to the Auschwitz concentration and extermination camp, where the trail of five-year-old Peter and his 35-year-old mother was lost. Peter Trzeciak's siblings survived the Shoah.

Under NS-Rule

Life in “Heim Isenburg” could be organized and regulated quite easily until the pogrom of November 1938, even if discrimination and harassments made the life of residents quite hard.
