According to living relatives (2015) then this picture was taken when the 2 sisters met for the fist time after they were separated from each other at young age. Both ended up at foster parents after their mother died at young age, Karoline was 1½ years old and Rosa was just about to celebrate her 3rd birthday. Their father Friedrich Emil Ostheim genannt Christ left them at relatives of their mother.
NOTE: Both are wearing identical necklaces. Maybe a kind of reunion gift? |

Very interesting is the person beneath Gerhardt on the record. It´s a little girl named Monika Heidemarie Doliwa. She was born at Niels Rossen´s farm on 27 Apr 1945 and baptized 2 days later at the farm, together with Gerhardt. Monika´s mother Else Margarethe Doliwa was an unmarried refugee from Insterburg, East Prussia/Germany. Monika unfortunately died a few months after her birth in a refugee camp at Oksbøl. 2 of her baptism sponsors were Niels Rossen and his wife Karoline Margrethe (nee Ostheim genannt Christ) |
