Her husband, Rywen Moskal, 41, was sent to work in the Les Mazures forced labour camp, in the French Ardennes. Together with 238 other “forced labourers”, he was taken to Mechelen and put on Transport 15. After deportation he disappears from the records. His family was deported on 25 August, on Transport 5, and also disappeared without a trace.
