Notes for Karl Stricker
{geni:about_me} The KARL STRICKER [https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1942-2579...=MMGD-2QH:n985453871 b. Feb. 8, 1894] in the Central Database of Shoah Victims' Names [http://db.yadvashem.org/names/nameDetails.html?itemId=4947813&language=en (here)] is the Karl Stricker on this page, who (according to family sources) "had a wandering urge and disappeared."
The Shoah Victims' Names entry is:

* '''STRICKER, KARL'''
* Date of Birth 08/02/1894 (Feb. 8, 1894)

* Details of transport Transport 5 from WIEN, AUSTRIA to LAGOW, '''OPATOW''', KIELCE,POLAND on 12/03/1941 (March 12, 1941)
* Prisoner Nr. in Transport 732
In the Spring of 1941 a ghetto was established in '''Opatow''', occupying Berko Yoslevitz St. and some alleyways in the area. Besides the local Jews, refugees from Warsaw and Lodz arrived. They came on their own believing that there would be more of a chance to survive the Nazi occupation in small towns. As a result of the terrible crowding and unspeakable sanitary conditions, there was an outbreak of typhus in the ghetto, especially among the refugees whose living conditions were the worst. The Judenrat and other self-help groups organized to fight the typhus plague. An infirmary operated by TA”Z (the Jewish health organization of Poland) and a hospital of 30-40 beds operated in the ghetto. A public soup kitchen provided lunches for a symbolic price for the needy among the Jewish intellectuals. Shortly thereafter, another soup kitchen for other needy opened. At first, both soup kitchens attempted to provide a two-course lunch, but with time, they were only able to provide a bowl of soup and a cup of muddy coffee. These two kitchens continued operating until the liquidation of the Opatow ghetto in October 1942.
