Biography

Johana Kubatzky was born on 16 August 1873 in Zippnow near Deutsch Krone in West Prussia. Her parents were the master glazier David Kubatzky and his wife Jenny, née Lindenberg. She was the eldest of seven siblings. Her brother Louis died in 1884 at the age of eight.  
While all the siblings moved to Berlin at an early age, Johana is still registered in the census in May 1939 in Ratzebuhr near Deutsch Krone, then part of the province of Pomerania.
It is not known when she moved to Berlin or where she lived there.
The only known address in Berlin is the collection centre at Gipsstraße 12a in Mitte. Johana Kubatzky was deported from there to Riga on the 18th Osttransport on 15 August 1942. On her arrival in Riga on 18 August, she was classified as unfit for work and murdered in the Bikernieki forest.
