Rychwalski - family

Moses and Lina Rychwalski lived in Tirschtiegel (now Trzciel, Poland). Their son Max (1864-1943) and wife Amalie ('Malli') (née Meseritz, 1878-1942) were deported from Berlin to Theresienstadt concentration camp in 1942 and later murdered. Their son Ernst and his wife Lene lived in Stettin, Western Pommerania (now Szczecin, Poland) before fleeing to Berlin in 1940 where they lived in hiding for most of the war. Just before the end of the Second World War they were arrested and sent to Theresienstadt but survived until the liberation of the camp in May 1945. They returned to Berlin.
