Narrative: Willie Deutz, a German Jew from Frankfurt was married in 1929 to a German gentile woman named Paula. They had met as Paula worked as a servant for Willie’s parents. Willie was arrested in 1943 and sent to a prison in Darmstadt (Germany). He was later deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau (Poland) where he was killed. Paula received a death notice from the camp commandant, pretending her husband had succumbed to an infection and she could retrieve his ashes if she desired to do so.
