Franziska Tausig

Treblinka

Nazi-dominated Austria. She sent her son, Otto (then 16), to England through an advertisement in The Times calling for workers, thus saving him. In 1938, she acquired two tickets for the Usaramo, a ship that was supposed to be scrapped in Japan, which transported Jews to Shanghai on the way.^[1] She emigrated to Shanghai with her husband, who died there of tuberculosis shortly thereafter.^[2] Ten years later, in 1948, Tausig was reunited with her son in Vienna.^{[citation needed}
