Ruth Stella
and her father in Antwerp in 1940 |
|
| Ruth (Rutti) RADOMYSLER was born in Leipzig in
1931; she was nearly 11 years old when she was deported on
convoy 31 of September 11, 1942, with her
parents, Bzabel and Léa, and her little sister, (Esther) Stella,
born in Antwerp in 1938. Sophie Caplan, who lives in Australia, remembers them:
"The Radomyslers were in the Rivesaltes camp at the same time as us, from 1941
to 1942. Then they escaped but were retaken.... Rutti was the star of the
holiday evening for Chanukah in 1941 in Rivesaltes. The OSE staff were looking
for a cute little girl to sing and dance a number called Le Dreidel.... At one
point the choice was between Rutti and me. But she was prettier than I and sang
and danced better than I did. So she was chosen. And it was a great success.
She became very popular ... and it was her last Chanukah. I always felt guilty
about the jealousy I felt toward her, but perhaps the remorse I felt helped me
to remember Rutti. She was very beautiful with long brown curls and blue eyes
with long black lashes. And her little sister Stella too. Her name was Esther,
but she was called Stella. Both of them sang and danced marvelously well." |
