Dora Lustig, ca. 1918

Dora Lustig, a Polish Jewish tailor, emigrated from Sweden in 1918 and settled in Antwerp. Called up supposedly for work, she was, at 63 years old, the oldest of the 839 called up for Transport 2. Her age would have meant that the SS doctors would have rejected her as unsuitable upon arrival at Auschwitz-Birkenau. She disappeared without a trace.
