Reply from Olga: Question your mother again soon before she dies. Once she dies, finding answers will be harder. And you really want to know her experiences personally. Tell her how important it is for you to share her life story. When I questioned my mother, she left out a lot too and took important secrets to her grave. She kept saying 'why do you want to know'. It was a impossibly difficult time for them. They had to summon up courage on a daily basis just to make it through the day. They were truly deprived of happiness, of their childhood and of all their possessions. They witness their family members die by bombs, torture or starvation. Squashed into too small living quarters with too little sanitation, they were infected with lice and TB. Czech site holocaust http://holocaust.valka.cz/newdesign/v400/show_html.php?id=364
Dear Olga: The above text in English translation: http://www.bafl.de/template/englisch/index_englisch_about_us.htm A search at Google will turn up a German language page showing a photo of barracks at the camp, at a Web site about Nürnberg (Nuremberg). The camp was named for the city of Valka that straddles the border between Estonia and Latvia, and the name stuck even after the refugees from those two countries left around 1949 and were replaced by refugees from other nations. Thanks for your efforts. Sincerely, Dale Chock
2/11/05 ----------- Nov 26, 2013 G'day Olga, found your website and am wondering if you may know how i can get information on records from valka camp? My father and grandma were both at that camp around 47. any direction you could give would be wonderful. Thanks!

I thought you might add this picture to your site. I believe it was1946. I am the blonde in center of back row. My sister, Wanda, is to my immediate left. Thank you so much. I am always sending people to your site, it has grown a great deal from my first visit. Thank you very much. 
We
had a Polish school that I attended. I did my first Communion in Varel.
Here is the picture. I am the first one on the left. After communion,
our priest took us blackberry picking. One can only imagine what our
white dresses must have looked like to our mothers. My dress was made
by my grandmother, who was a seamstress and very adept at making clothes
over. That dress changed twice as I grew. One of my sisters was born
in Varel. At Christmas, one of the men would dress up as St. Nicholas,
and visit the children to pass out gifts (supplied by the parents) after
asking us questions. My question was, "How much is 7X7?" I did not know
the answer, but because I knew all my prayers I received my small gift.
So these are my memories of Varel. Thanks for adding them to your site.
Best regards, Rita R., Ontario, Canada
The photo above and the lady is looking for anyone who knows anything. In this photo, shows a girl that looks similar; it was made in Sande in 1947. I am the small boy in the back row. The camp in Varel was a guarded camp where they kept people who had problems with their ID. Bockhorn and Friedichseld are the same.
