    Eulogy
    We remember Lisl Winternitz as a strong little girl, and a dearly loved daughter. She had one
    brother called Peter Winternitz, a father named Paul Winternitz, and a mother called Emilie
    Winternitz. She was born in the capital (prague) of Czechoslovakia. On March 15, 1939 the Germans
    invaded Prague. That day didnt start well, first, starting with a teacher calling her You dirty, filthy
    Jew, and to complete, she spate her in the face. Things were getting worst, and worst for the
    Jews. They werent allowed in any public place and their ration cards were stamped with a red J,
    meaning that they could shop only at certain stores during certain hours. In December 1941 her
    brother, Peter, was deported. Then in June 1942 they were also deported to the Terezin ghetto.
    That September, 5,000 Czechoslovakian Jews in Terezin were being sent to Auschwitz and they were
    part. A confusion was made, and Lisl returned to the ghetto for work. Lisl was assigned to a work
    detail making gas masks, and remained in Terezin until the end of the war. She later knew her
    parents and brother were killed at Auschwitz. She went through horrifying things that she wont
    even want to remember. She watched how people just simply died for nothing, including her family.
    She survived through all the work, dehydration, starvation, pain, and through all that she is still
    alive today. We remember her for how she hold herself together and survived.
