»I’m called Nechama now. My life between Königsberg and Israel«

Nechama Drober (*1927) was born Hella Markowsky to a Jewish family in the East Prussian capital Königsberg. She witnessed the two mass deportations in summer 1942, during which she lost her closest friends, relatives and classmates. She also experienced the invasion of East Prussia by the Red Armym in 1945. Her father Paul was subsequently deported to Siberia, whilst her mother Martha and five year-old brother Denny starved to death. Hella Markowsky fled with her sister Rita via Lithuania to Kischinew, where they lived until emigrating to Israel in 1990.
