Life:
- Born on December 13, 1913, in Debrecen, the second-largest city in Hungary. At that time, about 10,000 citizens of Jewish faith lived in Debrecen, making up 10% of the population. Lilian Roth attended school in Debrecen, which she left after the 6th grade.
- In 1938, she married Miklòs Czukor, who had studied in Berlin, as a so-called "numerus clausus" existed in Hungary, limiting the number of Jewish students to a percentage corresponding to the proportion of Jews in the population.
- On July 7, 1940, their daughter Eva was born.
- In 1942, Miklòs was conscripted for labor service in Ukraine. By this time, the introduction of discriminatory laws against Jews in Hungary (deprivation of voting rights, prohibition of becoming civil servants, prohibition of property ownership, etc.) was largely completed. In the labor battalions, Jews were deployed at the front lines to dig trenches and were killed in large numbers.
- In early 1943, Miklòs died during the (victorious) attack of the Red Army on Voronezh in Ukraine.
- Like many other Jews from Debrecen, Lilian Czukor, her daughter Eva, her mother Ella Czukor (20.8.1884 -), née Ella Keleti, and Mariana Burger are imprisoned in a brick factory in Szeged. There, three groups are formed; two are sent to the extermination camps in Poland and one to Strasshof near Vienna. Eichmann has 21,000 Hungarian Jews transported to the concentration camp Strasshof (Austria, near Vienna) for forced labor. They must work in agriculture. At the end of 1944, after the harvest season, they are deported with other Strasshof prisoners to the concentration camp Bergen-Belsen. Their fate was similar to that of Sara Atzmon (https://www.hagalil.com/2021/01/sara-atzmon/).
- On 10.4.1945, with 2,500 other prisoners, in the Lost Transport heading to Theresienstadt.
- The family is liberated by the Red Army in Tröbitz on April 23, 1945.
- Lilian Czukor dies on May 17, 1945, in the Lazarett Lager Nordfeld from typhus and is buried in the Jewish cemetery in Tröbitz. Her grave was initially in row 2, grave 7. In 1953, her brother Laszlo Roth organized for a gravestone to be erected at the burial site. The gravestone disappeared during the reorganization of the Jewish cemetery around 1964 due to circumstances that have not yet been clarified. - Her daughter Eva and her mother-in-law Mariana Burger survive and return to Hungary. Eva completes her studies and works as a technical expert for the protection of industrial patents in Budapest until her retirement in 1991. She has two children and six grandchildren and lives today (2021) in Budapest. Her brother Ladislaus and Mariana Burger will later marry.
