Familie Jungleib
On April 20, 2016, Greta Hamburg visited the memorial service and the memorial site at Bullenhuser Damm for the first time.
For 70 years, 85-year-old Greta Hamburg lived in the belief that her brother Walter had died as a child on a death march from Auschwitz. She survived the Shoah as a teenager and now lives near Tel Aviv. In 2015, Bella Reichenbaum from Haifa (see Reichenbaum family) researched the previously unknown children from Bullenhuser Damm. On the list of a prisoner transport from Auschwitz to Lippstadt, she found two women with the name Jungleib in addition to the names of their own relatives. She was able to make contact with the Jungleib family via the Yad Vashem memorial website.
Greta Hamburg, Walter Jungleib's sister, wrote in July 2015:
"I was and still am so shocked and stunned, I can't even describe my feelings. (...) My father, my mother, Walter and I were deported to Auschwitz in October 1944. The men and children were separated from us [women]. Walter forgot his cap and came back to get it, then he was the last in line, turned around, waved and smiled, and that was the last time my mother and I saw Walter."
