Otto, Juliana, Rudolf and Lilly Loewith were the uncle, aunt and cousins of my (grand)mother Lilly Mueller (born Schulman). The Loewith family, in particular Rudolf and Lilly, were close to my (grand)mother and her sister, my (great)aunt, in part because of their close age.
The Loewith family lived in Prague. Otto was an electrical engineer. He died just a few months before the end of the war– though he survived in two places where most people did not: The notorious Small Fortress prison in Terezin and the Auschwitz concentration camp. He lived almost to the end of the war; in early 1945 he was transported from Auschwitz to Dachau, and it appears he died on the transport there.
We do not know exactly what happened to his wife Juliana, it is possible that she was with him at the Terezin Small Fortress prison. What we do know is that, like Otto, she was ultimately also sent to Auschwitz, where she died in November 1943.
Lilly was deported together with her brother Rudolf from Prague to Terezin in July 1943, and then to Auschwitz in October 1944, where she died.
Rudolf was also sent to Auschwitz, although about three weeks before his sister Lily. From Auschwitz, he was deported to the Dachau concentration camp, where he would have been reunited with his father if he hadn’t died on the transport there. Wrenchingly, Rudolf died only days before liberation of Dachau, on April 23, 1945.
