Jakob and Emma, nee Zeiglof, Schweikert and Children - abt 1918
Last Picture Sent |
The tragic story of this family is not an isolated case. Some say their story has been repeated more than a million times by millions of families. Their story was: Left Only Eyes For Crying Jacob and his family were labeled as "Kulacks", enemy of the new USSR [Bolsheviks govt.], and Jacob was arrested and sent to the salt mines in Siberia. His crime was that he owned a prosperous blacksmith shop. After he was sent off in a train car, the local officials announced that anyone who was found selling or giving Jacob's wife and children food or clothing would be arrested and sent off to Siberia. His wife, Emma, and children died a terrible death of starvation. The last letter Emma wrote was: "My daughters are so hungary they have nibbled off the ends of their fingers."
Some twenty-nine years later when my grandmother, Christina, nee Schweikert, Hein read her sister-in-laws, Emma's, letter to me, I felt the horror of what had happen. Then she showed me this picture. She pointed at the two small girls. They were about my age in the picture. And I looked at the end of my fingers. I tried to imagine how hungry they must have been to have eaten off the end of their fingers. In 1955, the last letter arrived from Jacob who survived the Salt Mines for thirty-seven years. He had been allowed to write to my grandmother two times a year. We assume he died in 1956 because there were no more letters.
