    It sounds as if she is one of the victims of the Holocaust whose exact date of death will never be known. She spent time in Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsen, and Buchenwald concentration camps. On April 8, 1945 the remaining captives at Buchenwald were started on a death march to Theresienstadt. She died either on the march, or shortly after arriving at Theresienstadt, but it sounds as if no one will ever know for sure.
