Willy Rajzner and Rywka Fibich

Of these two Jewish couples having fun being photographed on a toy pony and trap only one would survive the war. Rywka Fibich, a housewife, and her husband, Willy Rajzner, a mechanic, lived in Brussels on the outskirts of the Jewish quarter. Their street, Avenue Jean Volders escaped the attentions of the Germans in the great nighttime raid of 3 September 1942. The couple was picked up later and taken to the Dossin Barracks on 25 November. They were deported on Transport 18 on 15 January 1943. Although they had no children, Rywka was pregnant, and she had to be taken twice to the Onze  Lieve Vrouw Gasthuis hospital in Mechelen while she was in the Sammellager. Even though she was on the point of giving birth, Rywka was sent to Auschwitz where she disappeared forever. Just like her 33-year-old husband.
