About Sidonie (Toni) Wilmersdörfer
Wilmersdörfer Sidonie (Toni), b. 2. 1.1923 in Floss. Toni, lived with her cousin Selma Zeilberger and her husband, the teacher Max Zeilberger, in Landau in the Palatinate. It was seized by the deportations to France in October 1940 and arrived in a transport of Jews from a nursing home in Mannheim. The transport went from Mannheim to the French demarcation line. The Jews were transported in cattle cars, reloaded in Lyon and brought to the infamous Camp Gurs in the Pyrenees. There the 17-year-old Sidonie died after three weeks on November 23, 1940 from hunger and cold. Relatives of her who were active in the French Resistance could have saved her if they had learned of her presence there. They managed to get prisoners out of the camp several times by bribing the guards.
