Berlin 2009 BY BRIAN HARRIS © 2009

Berlin 2009. Twenty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall which I photographed in 1989 for the Independent Newspaper I returned to photograph the changes that have happened over the past 20 years..Small but not forgotten a 4 inch square brass plaque on the cobbled street in former east Berlin, to remember just one of the millions who died at the hands of the Nazis in WW2: Maria Kampfer was born July 18th, 1870 in Potok Zlotij (today: town in Ukraine, used to.be Polish). She lived in Berlin-Kreuzberg/Schlesische Straße 27a. Maria died in Theresienstadt concentration camp in what was occupied Czechoslovakia.on September 17th, 1942 - one month after her arrival there. Related to that, a (first) big.transport of elderly Jews is mentioned. It took off August 17th, 1942 in Berlin. 1001 people.were brought to Theresienstadt, only 13 survived the camp..Maria Kampfer might have had a son, Karl Kampfer. He was born February 19th, 1898.in Jurkruz/Romania and also lived in Kreuzberg/Schlesische Straße 27a. (Our source.guessed that he was her son but so far there is no proof.) Karl was deported to Auschwitz.on June 28th, 1943 and probably died there under unknown circumstances...Source: Dr. Constanze Jaiser.Foundation/ Memorial to the Murdered Jews in Europe..COPYRIGHT PHOTOGRAPH BY BRIAN HARRIS © 2009.07808-579804
