- Abstract / Summary
- Isaac Kogan and his wife Frieda Mandelstam, a Jewish couple of Russian and Lituanian origin, lived in France at the time of the German occupation. They had one child, a son, Jacques, who was hidden at the time of their arrest and escaped deportation to the death camp. Isaac and Frieda, interned in the camp of Drancy, near Paris, were sent to Auschwitz in convoy number 46 on February 9, 1943 with Frieda’s mother and sister. They were gassed upon arrival. Jacques survived thanks to fake non-Jewish identification and was adopted after the war by two friends of his parents, Pierre Delattre and Madeleine Livet. Jacques passed away in 1996. His descendants provided us with several original documents: Pictures of the family, letters and messages sent from the Drancy internment camp, personal official documents, a certificate of Isaac Kogan's initial arrest at the camp of Pithiviers in 1941, with the mention “Useless for the national economy” to justify his internment.
