Annatoli Podwinskaja, born 8.6.1944 in Hamburg, died 3.10.1944

Essener Street 54 (formerly camp Tannenkoppel, Weg 4, also called "Tarpenbek = Forced labor camp of the armaments industry in Hamburg Langenhorn)

Annatoli Podwinskaja was born in Hamburg on June 8, 1944. His mother Nadja Podwinskaja, born on Aug. 16, 1922 in Wisoka Ljaba/Krs. Minsk, was of Roman Catholic faith and single. Deported from her native Belarus as a "farm laborer," she was first forced to perform forced labor in Hamburg-Wandsbek at the Haus Neuerburg GmbH cigarette factory (Reemtsma, H. F. & Ph. F., Wandsbek plant), Feldstraße 97/107 (today Walddörferstraße). She was probably housed in the company camp at Keßlerweg or Hogrevestieg. In the 8th month of her pregnancy, she was transferred together with Maria Ostagowa (see www.stolpersteine-hamburg.de), who was also heavily pregnant, to the Tannenkoppel camp, Weg 4, in Hamburg-Langenhorn on April 5, 1944, and assigned to forced labor at Hanseatische Kettenwerk GmbH ( HAK ) and/or Deutsche Meßapparate GmbH (Messap).

On the day of the birth of her child, she, like Maria Ostagowa, was sent to the Frauenklinik Finkenau, Hamburg-Uhlenhorst. Eight days after giving birth, on June 16, 1944, she and her son Annatoli were released back to the "Tannenkoppel Eastern Workers' Camp." Annatoli had to spend the short time of his life in this forced labor camp. The nutritional and living conditions were completely inadequate for him there.

On September 22, 1944, he was admitted to the Langenhorn General Hospital with the diagnosis of "nutritional disorders."

There Annatoli died after eleven days, on October 3, 1944 at 1:30 pm. The hospital's obituary lists the cause of death as "pedatrophy" (emaciation - the most severe degree of nutritional disturbance) and Blumenthal as the signing physician.

Annatoli was 3 months, 3 weeks, and 4 days old.

Nine days after his death Annatoli was buried on October 12, 1944, in the Ohlsdorf cemetery, grave location: Q 39, row 14, no. 1. His grave is no longer preserved. At the end of 1959 it was buried together with at least 146 graves of children of forced laborers on area Q 39.

Tatyana Podvinskaya, born Aug. 16, 1922, is included in a list "Verweisung von Kriegsgefangenen, zwangsweise fortgetriebenen und Flüchtlinge der Vereinten Nationen" of the municipality of Benzin dated February 14, 1946. According to this list, she had been assigned to forced labor for H. Dahnke in Benzin/bei Rehna already 19 days after the birth of her child, on June 27, 1944.
