Lotte Gutmann - Röttgen
Lotte was the youngest sister of Auguste van Pels-Röttgen.
Person
Lotte Gutmann-Röttgen was the fifth daughter of Leo Röttgen and Rosa Röttgen-Rosenau and the younger sister of Auguste van Pels-Röttgen. On 5 July 1939 she married Max Gutmann. He was born on 9 July 1908 in Wadersloh.[1] After their marriage they lived in Wuppertal. There she worked as a Heimarbeiterin from home. On 10 November 1941, she and her husband were deported from Düsseldorf to the Minsk ghetto in Belarus.[2]
Lotte and her husband were two of over nine hundred people from different places in the region. They made the deportation journey to Belarus in unheated wagons and the train stopped repeatedly. There was no opportunity to bring in drinking water after crossing the border, and so many arrived already seriously weakened.[2] Both were later killed in Minsk; it is unknown exactly how and when this happened.[3]
