Description
Photo of the Hubert family c. 1930. Pictured left to right are Selmar (Sel), Hedwig, Leo, and Emma. The peaceful scene shown here was soon to be shattered, as rising antisemitic sentiment in Nazi Germany convinced the Huberts to send their children, Emma and Sel, away to England in 1939 through the Kindertransport program. Despite their ability to save their children, Hedwig and Leo remained in Germany and died after being deported to Lublin and Piaski-Lublin concentration camps in 1943.
