This post honours the memory of a Holocaust victim.
9 December 1914 | Markéta Lubiková was born in Prague

A Czech Jewish woman from the beautiful city on the Vltava. A daughter, wife, perhaps a mother – a life full of ordinary hopes in an extraordinary time.
On 18 May 1944, at the age of 29, she was deported from the Theresienstadt ghetto on transport “Dz” to Auschwitz-Birkenau.
She did not survive.
No further record. No grave. Only a name that must never be forgotten.

Markéta Lubiková was one of the approximately 88,000 Jews deported from the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. Fewer than 9,000 returned.
We remember Markéta Lubiková today not to linger in sorrow, but to return to her the name that was taken; to honour the 79,000 Czech Jews who were murdered; and to ensure that every life stolen in the Holocaust – every woman who never came home – remains part of our shared memory.
She was 29 when they took her away. We give her back her name forever.
