We know very little about Amalie Kaufthal. She was born on 24. September 1882 in Lomma, Sweden. In 1942 she lived at Adolf Hitlerstr. 1 in Ruhla. She was single; she was not a German citizen. She was deported on 10 May 1942 to Ghetto Belzyce. She was the only person deported from Ruhla to Belzyce.

That is all we know about her and sadly we know these traces from the transport list.

So many questions remain: when did Amalie Kaufthal come to Ruhla? And why? What did she do there? Are there any records in the town that can provide more information? And so forth.

For now, on 10 May 2022, we honour the memory of Amalie Kaufthal.
