David Janaszewicz could flee from Poland to Landeck: After his resistance activities and Jewish origin were uncovered, the Gestapo brought him to the Reichenau camp on 13.3.1944. There, they hanged him and his companion Jakob Justman on 25.4. Lorraine Justman, a driving force among the survivors in the Jewish Committee, made sure that not only her father's body, but also that of Janaszewicz, was exhumed and transported from the Pradler Cemetery to the Jewish Cemetery. There, two rabbis buried Janaszewicz and Justman on 7.12.1945 according to Jewish rites in adjacent graves.
