Life
Dora Bruder was the daughter of Jewish parents Ernest Bruder (born May 21, 1899 in Vienna ), who worked in a brake factory for Westinghouse in 1926 , and Cécile Burdej (born April 17, 1907 in Budapest ). When Dora was born in the Hôpital Rothschild , the working class family lived in house number 76, rue de Picpus in the 12th arrondissement of Paris.
The Jewish girl ran away from a Catholic boarding school in the winter of 1941/42 and was missing for several months. The parents, who lived on Boulevard Ornano at number 41 in Paris in 1941, published a missing person report in the Paris-Soir daily newspaper on December 31, 1941.
First Dora Bruder was interned in the Les Tourelles barracks and then on September 18, 1942, in convoy No. 34, which was also used to transport her father, from the Drancy assembly camp to Auschwitz and murdered. The mother of Dora Bruder was also murdered by the German occupiers in Auschwitz in 1943.
