Luja Kolomejtschuk, born 6.5.1944 in Hamburg, died 4.2.1945
Essener Straße 54 (formerly camp Tannenkoppel, Weg 4, also called "Tarpenbek = Forced labor camp of the armaments industry in Hamburg Langenhorn)
Luja Kolomejtschuk was born in Hamburg on May 6, 1944. Her parents, Marija Kolomejtschuk, née Slobodenjuk, born on Sept. 23, 1924 in Pinkowka, and Filipp Kolomejtschuk, born on Nov. 15, 1922 in Swerdlowka, son of Semjon, were of Roman Catholic faith. Deported from their native Ukraine, they had to perform forced labor for Deutsche Meßapparate GmbH (Messap) in Hamburg-Langenhorn since June 3, 1943. They were housed separately in the women's and men's camps at Tannenkoppel, Weg 4.
One day before the birth of her child, Marija Kolomejtschuk was admitted to the women’s hospital Frauenklinik Finkenau, Hamburg-Uhlenhorst. Nine days after giving birth, on May 14, 1944, she returned to the Tannenkoppel camp with her daughter Luja. Luja had to spend the short time of her life in this forced labor camp. The nutritional and living conditions were completely inadequate for her.
She died there at 2:00 a.m. on February 4, 1945. In the death notice of the police chief, signed "i. A. Hillmann L. A.", according to "official investigations", without indication of a doctor, the cause of death is given as "internal cause".
Luja was 8 months, 4 weeks and 1 day old.
Thirteen days after her death, her burial took place on February 17, 1945 in the Ohlsdorf cemetery, grave location: Q 39, row 10, no. 21. Her grave is no longer preserved. At the end of 1959 it was levelled together with at least 146 graves of children of forced laborers on area Q 39.
Luja's father Filipp Kolomejtschuk from Winniza/Ukraine submitted an inquiry to the ITS Arolsen in October 1997. It contained information on his persecution and fate as a forced laborer from May 1943 to 1945 in Peremyschl and in the armaments factory "Myssap" in Hamburg-Langenhorn. However, this correspondence can only be viewed after the protection period expires in October 2023.
