Boris Wenik was born in Hamburg on March 13, 1944. His mother Hanna Wenik, born on May 25, 1922 in Wokrasenzi, was of Greek Catholic faith and single. Deported from her native Russia, she first had to perform forced labor in Hamburg-Billstedt for Hamburger Juteindustrie A. G., Jutefabrikate Wilhelm Schlochauer. During this time, she spent three weeks, from July 1 to July 17, 1943, in the Wandsbek hospital due to "appendicitis" (inflammation of the appendix). During this time she was pregnant.
On September 9, 1943, she was transferred to forced labor for Vereinigte Jutespinnereien u. Webereien A.G. at the Harburg plant, and in her 7th month of pregnancy to Hamburg-Langenhorn at Hanseatische Kettenwerk GmbH (HAK). On January 24, 1944, she was registered at the "Ostarbeiterlager Tannenkoppel" (camp for forced laborers from the East), Weg 4.
One day before the birth of her child, 21-year-old Hanna Wenik was admitted to the Frauenklinik (womens’s hospital) Finkenau, Hamburg-Uhlenhorst. Twelve days after the birth, on March 25, 1944, she and her son Boris were released back to the Tannenkoppel camp. There Boris had to spend the short time of his life. The nutritional and living conditions were completely inadequate for him.
He suffered a cruel death: on April 18, 1944, at 10:00 a.m., Boris was found dead in "Hamburg- Billstedt in the Bille near the jute factory" (Hamburger Juteindustrie A. G., Jutefabrikate Wilhelm Schlochauer). In the written death notice of the police chief, signed "i. A. Hillmann Inspektor L. A.", "due to official investigations", without naming a doctor, the cause of death is given as "skull fracture infanticide".
Boris was 1 month and 5 days old.
The place of his burial is not known.
In the "Ausländermeldekartei" (database for foreigners) for Hanna Wenik on July 28, 1944 "U.S.M." is recorded. "i. Detention." Nothing is known so far about her imprisonment and further fate.
