Regina Weiglová was born on 3 September 1886 in Prague, her mother died when she was three years old and her father when she was fifteen. She was very clever and in her childhood she was nicknamed “the lawyer”. In addition to Czech, she spoke fluent German and Hungarian. She worked as a clerk at the tax office in Prague. She had two children – Vera (born 6 December 1913) and Karel (born 18 October 1920). Věra survived the war thanks to many lucky coincidences.
Regina and Karel lived in Žižkov in what was then Lutherova Street 83, now Seifert Street 683/83. In 1942, she was 56 years old and Karel was 22. They did not stay in Terezín for long and on 8 September 1942 they were placed on transport Bk together with 998 other people and taken to the concentration camp in Maly Trostinets near Minsk in today’s Belarus. However, the train did not reach the camp. A few kilometres before Maly Trostinets, it stopped in the forest. Here, pits were dug, and each of the thousand passengers of this train was brought to the edge of the pit, received a bullet in the back of the head, fell dead into the pit, and was covered with lime.
There were six similar trains to Little Trostinec. Later, the Nazis developed much more effective methods for liquidating “undesirables” – that’s a chapter on Auschwitz, Treblinka and other extermination camps.
