Adeline Rajzner, in 1939 and her mother, Chana Blima Frydman
Adeline Rajzner, 4, was interned in the Dossin Barracks on 4 September 1942, with her mother, Chana Blima Frydman, 27, a milliner who emigrated from Poland in 1920. Both lived in the Rue de Mérode in the Brussels borough of Saint-Gilles, where 99 Jews were arrested in the nighttime raid of 3 September 1942. The father, Henri Rajzner, was no longer in Belgium. A Polish Jew, he had joined the Polish army in France in 1939-40 and escaped the deportations. His wife and daughter, however, were deported on Transport 8. When the train arrived on 10 September, neither mother nor daughter would have stood a chance in the special action of which Transport 8 was a target. 87% of the women and girls on this transport were immediately executed.
