Who was Cary Krell? Cary Krell was born on January 27, 1936 in Vienna, Austria. Cary Krell was one of 1.5 million children that died during the Holocaust. In the article, “Children During the Holocaust,” it states,”The Germans and their collaborators killed as many as 1.5 million children.” Krell was the daughter of Diana and Willi Krell. Her father was a manager at a knitting factory and was offered a job as a bookkeeper in Poland where her parents were born. After that, Germany invades Poland and things got bad. Cary and her family were caught and sent to concentration camps. Cary died in the concen- tration camps on January 6, 1945.
This is the life of Cary Krell and how she died.
Cary was only five and a half years old when the Germans invaded Poland and that’s when things got bad. Jewish laws were formed and Jews were segregated from other Germans. In the book, The Diary of a Young Girl, it states,”Jews must wear a yellow star. Jews must hand in their bikes and are banned from riding trams and are forbidden to drive.” Jews were treated very poorly and had unfair laws. Jews started to have to work for the Germans and Cary’s dad was forced to be a Jewish administrator.
A few years later, in the summer of 1944,Cary and her parents were the only Jews left in town. They were found and put in the lonely and horrible concentration camps. Concentration camps were where Jews were sent because of their religion and they were killed. Jews at concentration camps started out killing people by shooting and burying them, but they started gassing them in gas chambers and burning them. The Krell family was sent to the Plaszow concentration camp.
On October 15, 1944, Cary and her parents were shipped to the Gross-Rosen concentration camp. From there, her mother was sent to Auschwitz and was immediately killed. Cary’s father smuggled her and dressed her up as a boy so that he could keep an eye on her. One day, a boy found out she was a girl and told on them, so Cary was separated from her father. They had stopped the gassings in Auschwitz, but it was dead winter. There was little food, and there was a disease spreading. The disease was typhus and it was deadly. Many died because of typhus. Will Cray survive or will she die like the rest? Cary was weakened by hunger and dehydration. The text states,” There was little food, and horrend- ous sanitary conditions spread disease everywhere.” Cary caught the awful disease typhus. Cary died of typhus on January 6, 1945. It was a few weeks before the concentration camps were liberated Cary was 8, about to turn 9 when she died. These are some sites I used to help me with this paper. http://www.graceproducts.com/fmnc/kcary.htm http://www.ushmm.org/wlc/en/article.php?ModuleId=10005142 http://www.answers.com/Q/How_did_Cary_Krell_die_during_the_Holocaust
