== Biography == 

Martha (1922), Emil (1924), and Joseph (1928) were the children of Julius Dortort (1891-1945). They lived in Bottrop, Germany. In 1939 Emil and Joseph went to Belgium on a Kindertransport. They were hosted as refugees at [[Home Speyer]]. When Germany invaded Belgium in 1940, they fled to France. They spent the winter in [[Seyre]] before finally settling at [[Chateau de La Hille]] in the Pyrenees. Joseph was the only member of the family to survive in hiding in France. Emil was arrested and deported; he perished in Majdanek. Father Julius and sister Martha, who had remained in Germany, were deported in 1942. Juliu perished in Dachau in January 1945, Martha in Stutthof.
