HERMAN ALTKORN, also known as HOD\u017dA, son of ABRAHAM or ADAM, born on February 17, 1890* in Jagielusko, Poland. He was an electrician who worked as a miner in the Brown Coal Mine in Mostar. He was an activist in the labor movement and a trade union official. He was arrested by the Usta\u0161e in July 1941 in Mostar, taken to a camp in Pag, and then executed in the Gospi\u0107 camp*.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the recollection of Dane Mili\u0107evi\u0107, one of the surviving prisoners from the Gospi\u0107 camp:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“On those dreadful nights, they took the men from the other stable. The next morning, the Italians actually started to arrive. The Usta\u0161e quickly loaded us onto a truck and took us to the Gospi\u0107 train station. There, we found train cars full of prisoners with whom the Usta\u0161e were fleeing from the Italians. I saw surviving Jews from the camp in Pag, among whom was the well-known Herman Altkorn, also known as Hod\u017ea, a mining worker and trade union official from Mostar. He told me that all the Mostar residents he knew, including my father, Rade Bitanga<\/a>, Vaso To\u0161i\u0107, and others, were killed in that camp.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1999, a Holocaust memorial was erected at the Jewish cemetery in Mostar, which includes Herman’s name<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

* According to the information from the book “Spomenica Mostara 1941-1945,” the year of birth is 1890, and the place of death is Gospi\u0107.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
