Hi Hardy,
I have no intention to correct you, but the HQ of the Gestapo was in the
"Schwarzer Adler", The "biggest man" was Obersturmbannfuehrer Major
Finger...I told you, once upon the time, my experience, but shortly, I will
repeat it..
The next week after the execution of the 300 jews, incl. Dr Mark, the SS
shut some streets,also the Maria-Theresiengasse (Miron Costin) 4 SSman,
ghided by the ucrainian porter, came to all jewish appartments and arrested
the men, also my husband and all jewish neighbours. They pushed them to the
waiting cars (100 men) and up to the Officers house....where they were hold,
to be executed, like the previous execution..I rushed after the cars, on the
Theater-place, where some hundred women, children, old men were waiting,,
because the same "Action" was in the Massarykgasse, and other streets.. I
stood nearby the entranace when an german officer in an light blue uniform
came out..My guardian angel whispered go , speek to him, and I went strait
to him, asking: "Mister officer, (I did not know his grade) what will be
with the arrested men...He smiled and said.'I am a pilot, and I hope for you
that the men will reconstruct the bridge" I went in the afternoon to the
HQ, to get an audience to Major Finger (I was always a bit crazy) but he was
in a meeting,so I waited
outside..It began to rain..an german uniform came along on the street, it
was the one I asked in the morming what will be with the arrested men, he
recognized me and asked whom I have there. My husband, was my answer...what
is he doing?El. Engeneer from the Deutsche Technische Hochschule,
Prague...he looked at me, smiled and said I am going to Major Finger, will
see what can I do for you...I was waiting one hour, but in vain...the rain
began, it was 6 o'clock, the time for jews to be home....He was a classmate
of my husband in Prague..he eliberated my husband and two of his
friends...and because the rain was so strong at the time for the execution
was planed, the cars could not get out and after one hour came the order
from Bucarest to stop the execution..The next day my husband came home....Do
some of you believe in miracle??? I do...
Bests regards from Haifa
Hedwig Brenner
