Harry Kahn met Jeanette Karschinierow in Theresienstadt, the last stop on his journey through the camps.

She had been deported with her 65-year-old father Lazarus Karschinierow from Stuttgart to Theresienstadt in August 1942. Her father died there a few days before the liberation of the ghetto by the Red Army.

Before her deportation, Jeanette had worked as a secretary at the Jewish congregation in Stuttgart.

In our film interview, Fredy Kahn recounted how his father invited her to Baisingen after the liberation:
“‘Just come to me in Baisingen, we’ve got something to eat, and we’ll see about what’s next.’ What came next was this: in 1946 they married in Baisingen.”
