Waldemar Kosowzow, born on 1.5.1944 in Hamburg, died on 21.11.1944
Essener Straße 54 (formerly camp Tannenkoppel, Weg 4, also called "Tarpenbek = Forced labor camp of the armaments industry in Hamburg Langenhorn)
Waldemar Kosowzow was born in Hamburg on May 1, 1944. His parents, Larissa, née Shevnyak (or Shevnyaz), born on May 30, 1921 in Russia, and Weniamin Kosowzow, born on October 25, 1919, also in Russia, were Roman Catholics. Deported from their homeland, they had to perform forced labor in Hamburg-Langenhorn as "Eastern workers" for Hanseatische Kettenwerk GmbH (HAK), Weniamin Kosowzow as a lathe operator from April 30, 1942. Larissa Kosowzow received the identification "Ost Nr. 340". They were housed separately in the women's and men's camps in the "Tannenkoppel" camp, path 4.
On the day of the birth of her child, Larissa Kosowzow was admitted to the Finkenau Women's Clinic, Hamburg-Uhlenhorst. Nine days after giving birth, on May 9, 1944, she returned to the Tannenkoppel camp with her son Waldemar, also called Vladimir. In this forced labor camp Waldemar had to spend the short time of his life. The nutritional and living conditions there were completely inadequate for him.
On November 20, 1944, he was admitted to the Eppendorf University Hospital. The following night, on November 21, 1944, Waldemar died there at 2:15 am. The hospital's obituary lists the cause of death as "osteomyelitis - suspected sepsis" (inflammation of the bone marrow with suspected blood poisoning) and the signing physician as Debes.
Waldemar was 6 months, 2 weeks and 6 days old.
He was buried on November 29, 1944 in the Ohlsdorf cemetery, grave location: Q 39 row 12, no. 7. His 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.
