About Edith Stern

In September 1938, Edith Stern and her husband Karl Eisenstädter emigrated from Vienna to Belgium, together with her brother Robert Stern and his wife Lizzy Goldschmid. On 25 September 1942, she was arrested, together with 34 other Jews, in front of the Saint Peter train station in Ghent (Belgium). The following day she was deported from Malines/Mechelen (Belgium) to Auschwitz-Birkenau (transport XI, prisoner number 2373), and murdered. Edith Stern's name is one out of 67 engraved on the memorial of Jews deported from Ghent [see Media].
