  Notes	Sali Kleinberg Stempel and two of her three children were victims of the Nazi Holocaust. Deported from their native Austria in late 1941, they were residents of Bremen, Germany in 1942. At that time they were transported by the Nazis to the Maly Trostinets death camp at Minsk, Belarus (USSR), where they were executed and buried in mass graves. On Jul 24 1942, Sali was transported by train from Hannover, Germany to the Theresienstadt ghetto in Czechoslovakia, where she remained for two months. On Sep 26 1942, along with 2,000 other Jews, she was transported by train to Treblinka, Poland. She was subsequently transported to Maly Trostinets, where she was executed. Her children Zerline and Walter had met the same fate two months earlier. This is all documented by the detailed records maintained by the Nazis at that time. http://www.yadvashem.org/wps/portal/IY_HON_Entrance http://en.doew.braintrust.at/shoahopferdb.html The killing process at Maly Trostinets was conducted as follows: Most of the victims were lined up in front of pits, 50 meters long and 3 meters deep, and shot to death. After the executions, the pits containing the victims were leveled by tractors. The operation was conducted by a unit of 30 to 100 SS men commanded by a Nazi officer named Rider. In the two years of its operation as a death camp, approximately 65,000 Jews were killed and buried at Maly Trostinets. http://www.holocaustresearchproject.org/nazioccupation/malytrost.html http://www.stolpersteine-bremen.de/detail.php?id=630 [1]
