Dita Kraus

Due to the creation of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia the family were forced to move out of their apartment.

[4] The camp contained a children's block which was run by a young sports instructor and Zionist called Fredy Hirsch.

Kraus's mother died soon after Bergen-Belsen was disbanded, so Dita was left to return to Prague without either of her parents.

[5] After she was liberated from Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, she returned to Prague where she met up again with Otto and they were married.

[5] They lived in Beit Yitzhak-Sha'ar Hefer one year and then they moved to a kibbutz where Dita Kraus worked in shoe repair and in the kitchen.

[8] In 2020 Kraus published her own book, A Delayed Life, which presents the account from her perspective.
