Biographical Note

 

Richard Yashek was born on February 15, 1929, in Lubeck Germany with the name Jurgen Jaschek. He was the eldest of two sons born to Lucy Judith Jaschek and Eugen Jaschek.  His younger brother’s name was Jochen Jaschek. Richard grew up during a time when very few people had jobs and there was little to eat. Lubeck was a small city. In fact, when Richard went to Berlin, he saw traffic lights for the very first time. In 1934, Richard and his family moved to a different part of Lubeck, called Bad Schwartau. It was around this time that Richard remembers walking to the synagogue as a child. His first experience with being mistreated as a Jew, came when he was not allowed to attend the nearest school in Bad Schwartau, but had to take the streetcar thirty minutes away to the Jewish School.

 

As Richard became a little older, he started to notice signs around him that were anti-Semitic. Richard recalled that the same people were on the streetcar everyday and he listened to what they had to say. They commented on the good working conditions in Germany and the new housing developments being built by Hitler’s “brown shirts”. There was also talk among the adults about concentration camps, which many people expressed fears of being incarcerated if they talked about Hitler in a negative way.

 

In 1937, Richard’s father immigrated to Brazil because he had difficulty finding work in Germany, even as a mechanic. He had to spend five years in Brazil until he could send for the rest of his family. However, Richard’s father returned less than a year later because of the anti-German sentiments in Brazil.

 

In 1938 there were more parades throughout Germany promoting the Nazi party. In the election of 1938, Hitler claimed 90% of the vote. Richard recalled that his German playmates attended a summer camp run by the Nazis and acted very differently toward Richard and his brother when they returned home. Richard also recalled being forbidden to enter the swimming pool. His parents tried to compensate for the prejudice their children faced by planning beach trips and giving Richard and his brother many toys and social opportunities that other children did not have.

 

On November 10, 1938, as Richard rode the streetcar to school he recalled seeing broken windows in Jewish stores and shops. School was cancelled that day and the boys went home. Richard’s father did not come home that night. He was arrested and held in the county jail. He remained in jail for several weeks until he was released. There were more and more laws being passed by Nazi officials to punish the Jewish population, including one that restricted a family’s silverware collection to one place setting for each member of the family.

 

On September 1, 1939, Germany attacked Poland and the hysteria and search for spies and traitors was publicized in papers and magazines. Rationing was introduced for everything including food and clothing. In 1940, there were air raids from British planes on Bad Schwartau and Lubeck. A few buildings, churches and houses were hit in Lubeck between the years of 1940 and 1941. In early fall of 1941, an order came to report with two suitcases for transport to go to work in the east. The Jews in Lubeck were told to take along warm clothing and several day’s supply of food. The adults in the city would get together and try and make plans for the unknown future.  The Lubeck Jews rode the train for 4 days until they reached Jungfernhof.

 

Most of their belongings were dropped along the way to the camp because they were too heavy. Richard’s family and the other Jews had to adapt to a new environment that involved hunger, cold, and inadequate housing.  Jochen, who was ten, stayed with their mother and Jurgen, who was twelve, stayed with their father. The winter of 1941-42 was one of the harshest winters in Eastern Europe. The river was frozen four meters thick (thirteen feet). As work, the Jews were instructed to cut this ice into blocks to be later used for refrigeration.

 

On March 26, 1942, the Duenamuende selection occurred. About eight hundred would remain at Jungernhof, and the rest, about 5,000, would go to work in a fish factory near the mouth of the Duena River. Richard’s mother and brother were selected to leave and his father and he would stay behind. With a smaller number of people at the camp, the work details were expected to show more results and the supervision became stricter.

 

In the fall of 1942, there was another selection to relocate to the Riga Ghetto, which was the accumulation of a few houses on a couple of streets. People were assigned to live with several others in one room. Richard was assigned to do maintenance work on locomotives. Food was scarce and Richard found himself begging for food.  At the end of the summer, Richard was moved to the KZ Kaiserwald camp, which was much larger. In October 1944, there was another selection and Richard was forced to go one way, and his father went the other. Richard was relocated to the KZ Stutthof camp and later to Burggraben. At Burggraben, liberation finally occurred on March 22, 1945.

 

At this time, Richard only weighed 97 pounds and was taken care of by doctors and nurses at a field aid station. As he recovered, Richard was put into a camp with Italian soldiers who had surrendered. Richard knew he had to get back to Lubeck and was given permission to find his way eastward from Thorn, Poland. When Richard got off the train in Berlin, all he saw were bombed out buildings.  In Lubeck, Richard searched for his mother and brother. He was already certain that his father at died. Richard contacted some neighbors about his mother and the things she had left with them, but no one had seen her.

 

Richard found his cousin Hans Krebs and his mother, who lived in Stockholm, he accepted their invitation for a four month stay in Sweden. Sweden’s list of immigration quotas to America was much shorter than Germany’s. Richard’s aunt and his cousin welcomed him as real family. Richard worked in his cousin’s chandelies shop and later worked with a metal supplier.  However, he did not devote all of his heart and energy to this work. On November 1, 1949, Richard went on the overnight train from Stockholm to Goeteburg to board the SS Stockholm for the United States.

 

On November 10, 1949, the ship arrived in the New York Harbor where Richard’s Aunt Beatrice and Uncle Arthur Hammel met him. They allowed him to stay with them in their apartment in Jamaica, New York. Richard was very excited to become assimilated. He wanted to learn English, find a job, and experience America. Richard traveled to Pottsville, Pennsylvania, to work with his Uncle Simon Hammel, in the family exterminating business, J. C. Ehrlich Pest Control, founded by another uncle, Julius C. Ehrlich.

 

Mrs. Shartel, German teacher at Pottsville High School, helped Richard with his English skills. However, his lessons were interrupted when he joined the American Army on March 21, 1951. Richard no longer remembered enough Swedish to join the Army Language School, so instead he joined the Chemical Corps. Richard was discharged in 1953 and returned to Pottsville. At one Friday night service at the synagogue, Richard was introduced to a librarian, Rosalye Levine, and the two were married on November 14, 1954 at Kesher Zion Synagogue in Reading, Pa. They had two children, Linda and Kimberly.

 

Richard returned to Germany in 1997 and 2004 to help cope with what happened to him in the Holocaust. He was very proactive while visiting Lubeck. Richard wrote a book about his life and his trips to Germany, entitled The Story of My Life, with the help of the Holocaust Research Center, at Albright College. Richard died in 2005, after a long battle with heart disease.
