User Comments:
There are two separate testimonies submitted by Gabriela Markus' cousins, Yosef Ashpiz in 1957 and Pola Varshavski Einhorn in 1999 in the Yad Vashem Central Database of Shoah Victims' Names.

Her mother is listed as Zhenia Markus in one testimony and Eugenia Markus in the other testimony.
Approver Comments:
One of the testimonies also identifies her father as being named Paul. Both indicate that she died at Auschwitz in 1944. One of the testimonies claims it was August 1944, which is when the ghetto was liquidated. Approximately, 2/3 of Lodz ghetto Jews arriving at Auschwitz in August 1994 were killed on arrival. However, if Gabriela was 20 years old, and if she was healthy, there is a chance she may not have been killed immediately. Although it is likely that her cousins have provided accurate information, without additional supporting evidence, I will list this data for the moment as "possible."
