Eugenio Lipschitz

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jeremus Eugenio Lipschitz (born on May 5, 1883 in Sümeg , Austria-Hungary ; died in 1944 or 1945 in Auschwitz-Birkenau ) was a Hungarian-Italian retailer in Rijeka who, like his wife Zseni Zipser, was murdered in the Holocaust .

Life

Lipschitz came from western Hungary. His parents were Ignazio Lipschitz and Matilde Starck. He had several siblings. He lived with his family in Fiume / Rijeka from 1894, established himself as a retailer of haberdashery and jewelery and married Zseni Zipszer, also known as Giannetta. The couple had at least three children, all of whom were born in Fiume:

  • Arturo (born November 10, 1914 in Fiume)
  • Magda, also Maddalena, Lipschitz (born on May 12, 1917), who later married Enrico Heimler and took his name, as well
  • Efraim, also Francesco or Feri (born June 2, 1919).

The two older children worked in the father's business. Both the daughter and the younger son studied. Both sons were able to emigrate to Palestine in 1939 . Arturo had at least one child who is said to have lived in Italy. Daughter Magda fled with her husband, her in-laws and another relative in September 1943 to what is now Italy . In the following year the Heimlers were able to get to Switzerland and survived the Nazi regime and the Holocaust there . Magda Heimler gave birth to a daughter named Daniela on February 12, 1945 in Mendrisio . After the end of the German occupation of Italy, the Heimlers returned to Florence. Enrico Heimler died in 1986.

Jeremus Eugenio Lipschitz was arrested by the Mussolini regime on July 28, 1940 and was then interned in the Campagna internment camp until December 22 of the same year . During this period he also wrote diaries. He and his wife were arrested by German forces in Fiume in March 1944, first deported to Risiera di San Sabba , a German concentration camp in Trieste, and later to Auschwitz-Birkenau . Both were murdered there at an unknown date.

His sister Paula and her husband Adolfo Simkovits were also murdered in Auschwitz .

Commemoration

Four stumbling blocks for the Lipschitz couple in Rijeka

His report on the internment in Campagna was translated from Hungarian into Italian by his daughter and published in book form in 2001. Lipschitz's records have been identified by the Corriere del Mezzogiorno as one of several particularly relevant historical documents. Excerpts appeared in 2015 in the anthology La finestra della libertá .

On May 21, 2013, a total of four stumbling blocks were laid in Rijeka for Giannetta Zipszer Lipschitz and Eugenio Lipschitz , two stones for each of them, one in Croatian and a second in Italian. The name of the Stolpersteine ​​is in Croatian: Kamen spoticanja , in Italian: pietre d'inciampo . These are the first (and so far only) Stolpersteine ​​laid in Croatia .
