About Lidia Zamenhof

Lidia Zamenhof (1904-1942) was a Polish writer, publisher, translator and the youngest daughter of L. L. Zamenhof, the creator of Esperanto. She was born on 29 January 1904 in Warsaw, then in partitioned Poland. She was an active promoter of Esperanto as well as of Homaranismo, a form of religious humanism first defined by her father. Around 1925 she became a member of the Bahá'í Faith. In late 1937 she went to the United States to teach that religion as well as Esperanto. In December 1938 she returned to Poland, where she continued to teach and translated many Bahá'í writings.[2] The date on which she was murdered is unclear. In The Central Database of Shoah Victims' Names, three conflicting testimonies are given for her date of her death: July 5, October, and September 5 in 1942. Hence, her murder date was in the latter part of 1942. She was murdered at the Treblinka extermination camp during the Holocaust in Poland. Wikipedia EN
