Elly #Mommer I only knew as the side note "That's Mr(s) Mommer from #Rostock" when #grandma described one of the photographs in her mother's album. After creating her profile some weeks ago I reached out to a local history group in Rostock. From there I instantly received pages of a book that had a short biography of her. With that, the story of the friendly woman on the photograph turned a lot darker:

Meet Elly #Mommer, a pediatrician from #Rostock, who was born in #Barmen (now #Wuppertal). I spent (consumed? wasted?) the last few hours researching her. Why I did that? Because she's in one (sic!) photograph, that also shows my #grandma, her mother, her grandma and her father. Since she's in a Rostock city directory in 1943, but missing in 1949, I wonder, if she died during WW2?
