*December 26, 1920 – March 19, 1994



"For a French woman, I found her uncle (René Kramer) in the ITS documents.

He worked during the Second World War as a prisoner of war on a widow's farm, with two school-aged daughters, in Grafenhausen(near Switzerland).

I found a very old daughter of this farmer, as well as her son.

They were able to tell me an interesting and bizarre story about this French prisoner of war, René Kramer.

The old woman remembered him well and recognized him in the photo and said that he was popular.

René Kramer worked happily on his employer's farm in Grafenhausen, but in 1943 he was transferred to another farm in Grafenhausen, where he was mistreated and not given enough to eat.

One day, he visited his former employer and told her he was being mistreated by his new boss and that he intended to flee to Switzerland by swimming across the Rhine. Of course, they advised him against it, but he said he was a trained swimmer and could do it. After July 1943, he suddenly disappeared, and it was unknown whether he had survived the crossing, as no one ever heard from him again... until I was able to tell them that he had married in Lyon in 1944 and lived until 1994.

His marriage remained childless.
