On November 12, 1938, the planned tasks in Heinrich Tischler’s calendar abruptly end. On that day, as part of an operation to arrest Jewish men throughout Germany, the Nazis deported him to the Buchenwald concentration camp. “I’m doing well here, I don’t need anything,” he wrote on a postcard sent from the camp to his family. In reality, he was in severe condition. Known for his leftist political views, he faced physically brutal interrogations. After a month, Heinrich was released, but he died in Breslau on December 16, 1938 due to pneumonia contracted in the harsh conditions of the camp.
