Columbarium, Theresienstadt

On 30 May 2011 a memorial plaque for ten members of the Löwenhardt family was unveiled in the Theresienstadt Columbarium, Terezin, Czech Republic. All ten had passed through Theresienstadt ghetto on their way to the death camps. The plaque was designed by Amsterdam artist Gerard Polhuis based on a concept by John Löwenhardt. The outlines of the plaque are taken from the matseewa (gravestone) of Pauline Löwenhardt-Lennhoff in the Jewish cemetery of Dortmund-Wambel, Germany. She was the mother of Hugo, Adolf and Siegmund Löwenhardt, grandmother of Ursula and Klara and great-grandmother of Kurt.
