aka Yevhenia Besfamilnaya. Meaning nameless. So named by the orphanage where she was raised: she had survived the alone

She spoke only Yiddish and Russian. She was cranky and asocial. Neighbors looked out for her

Murdered by

A shattered life bookended by horrors

A neighbor remembered the last time he saw her:

"The look on her face was special in some way. Like she was saying: ‘OK, that’s it. You can stay here, but I’m going’"
