We now know what became of the bodies of Hanna Dallas<\/a> and five of her companions, disembarked from a convoy of prisoners on the morning of the 1er<\/sup> March 1945 at Bayreuth station. The train had been parked in this town for several days, blocked in its progress by Allied bombing.<\/p>\n

The corpses were put in paper bags and buried anonymously in the municipal cemetery in Bayreuth. Research undertaken in 2013 by Dr. Sylvia Habermann, director of the historical museum of Bayreuth, finally made it possible to give back their names to these women, and to a small group of citizens of the city**** to have a plaque placed in the graveyard. On January 27, 2015, seventy years later, they were able to receive an official tribute from Germany on the occasion of the national day of remembrance for the victims of the Nazi dictatorship.<\/p>\n

Eva Danos<\/a> tells in The last convoy<\/em><\/a> the long ordeal of hundreds of Jewish women, including her friends Lili<\/a> and Hanna with whom she had been arrested in Budapest. Leaving Ravensbr\u00fcck on February 17, the train was to deliver the prisoners to Burgau, an annex of the Dachau camp, where these women were expected to work in a Messerschmitt factory. It will take sixteen days to cross Germany.<\/p>\n

Hanna's Last Night<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe disarray of the night prevented me from watching over Hanna. From time to time, I heard her sigh "Oh Joseph\u2026 Mom\u2026 Dad", but I still did not fear the worst. However, the desolate morning casts its austere light over his corpse. His eyes are wide open, his face bears the scars of death. She lies there barely a step from me, and my heart freezes and paralyzes: this is what has become of the warm Hanna who believed with the fervor of an apostle in the noble nature and the sublime vocation of 'humanity. Hanna who was always looking for the beautiful, the true, the pure, who tried everywhere to find the good, even in what might seem the worst, Hanna had to suffer the ugliest and most degrading end. So theone of the greatest talents of Hungarian graphic art<\/a>, one of the most gifted poster artists who with her drawings had made our popular art known in England, had to end her life on the miserable floor of a German cattle car. Oh Hanna, dearest Hanna! (\u2026) While cleaning, I lean out of the wagon door. The Germans are removing the bag containing Hanna's body and in silence, I say goodbye to our friend. I read the name of the station: Bayreuth\u2026 what an atrocious coincidence: Wagner\u2026 Festspiele (Festival)\u2026 and Hanna dead. \u00bb<\/p>\n

Lili, she will be carried away three days later by typhus and his body lowered to Augsburg<\/a>.<\/p>\n

* Hanna Dallos was not born on April 14, but on June 14, 1907, as indicated by Gitta Mallasz in the Talking with Angels<\/em> (p. 291), a week before her.<\/small><\/p>\n

** Elisabeth Merkowitz is "the dreamy-eyed, idealistic twenty-year-old girl whom Hanna named Puck because of her uncanny resemblance to the little pixie in the Dream of a summer night<\/em>. \u00bb (The last convoy<\/em>, p. 59)<\/small><\/p>\n

*** Klara Ed\u00f6 is probably Klara Erd\u00e9lyi, who left Budapest on the same train as the three friends, was their companion at Ravensbr\u00fcck and was locked up in the same car as them. She was also the first to die there.<\/small><\/p>\n

**** They are Felix Gothart, president of the Jewish cultural association, historian Norbert Aas, Dr. Sylvia Habermann, director of the historical museum and Carsten Hillgruber, social referent.<\/small><\/p>\n

The municipal cemetery of Bayreuth is located Erlanger Strasse and the plaque is on the dividing wall between the new and the old cemetery, but the two graves have unfortunately been replaced by others.<\/small><\/p>\n
