Marianna Geiger
F, #895, b. 1821
Rosa Gerhard
F, #1173, b. 29 November 1899
| Birth* | She was born on 29 November 1899 in Speier, Odessa, Russia.1 |
| School attendance* | Rosa attended German elementary school in Speier, Odessa, Russia, for 4 years.2 |
| Marriage* | On 19 November 1918, Rosa Gerhard married Nikodemus Fleck, son of Georg G Fleck and Anna Frank, in Landau, Odessa, Russia. Rosa was 18 years old. Nikodemus was 22.3,1,4,2 |
| Residence | From 1923 to 1929 she and Nikodemus lived at Landau, Odessa, Russia. Sometime, perhaps during the latter part of this period, Nikokemus and his family resided in Steinfeld. In a history of Steinfeld the author wrote: “Daughters Monika and Beta lived there [in Steinfeld] until they finished school”.1,5 |
| Verschleppt | Nikodemus Fleck and Rosa Gerhard were taken (Verschleppt) by Soviet authorities on 14 February 1930.
On 22 Feb 1930, Anna (Frank) Fleck wrote to her sons in America: “Nikodemus, his wife Rosa and children are no longer here. They were taken away at night along with many other people. No one knows where they were taken. No way can we explain the pain of losing them. They were told to bake bread and have groceries and meat for three months to take along. Also, they were told to bring warm clothing and if they did not have any, the Government would supply them”
In the following two paragraphs, words in boldface are translations of the German entries in Nikodemus’ EWZ records.
While the circumstances of Nikodemus’ detention are somewhat imprecise the following events emerge for the period between late 1929 and 1937. In EWZ records, Nikodemus shows a two-year period (1930 to 1932) when he and his family were in Steinfeld. His oldest sister, Monika (Fleck) Berger and her family had lived in that village since 1927 at least. (In a history of Steinfeld, Geschichte von Steinfeld, the author shows a schematic of houses in the village. On the western side of Steinfeld, residences 9 through 11 were occupied by Bergers, Nikodemus Fleck and his family, and Elizabeth (Gress) Fleck, wife of Johann, and her children. The author wrote of Nikodemus and Rosa: “[They] were persecuted by the government. They often changed their place of residence.”) Nikodemus and his family were first taken to the “Far North” where he characterized himself as a prison worker in the forests of Arkhangelsk. It would appear that this first period lasted for two years. During this initial period his family was with him as evidenced by both Nikodemus’ mother Anna Fleck’s letter and his daughter Berta’s EWZ entries.
During the second period Nikodemus’ EWZ entries show that he was in labor camps in both the Arkhangelsk and Murmansk Oblasts. Meanwhile his wife Rosa and family moved to Eigenfeld back in the Black Sea area. Nikodemus’ single entry, prison, Arkhangelsk and Murmansk, may or may not reflect the sequence of when he was in the two labor camps. In any case, Nikodemus was transported to Murmansk, which is considerably west of Arkhangelsk and shares a border with Finland. As part of the Soviet’s first Five-Year Plan, an estimated 120,000 prisoners were used to construct the White Sea – Baltic Sea Canal in the Murmansk Oblast. The prisoners completed this project in 20 months between 1931 and 1933. Most likely it was Nikodemus’ specialty skill as a baker (learned after training in the labor camp) that precipitated his move to Murmansk. Adding to the uncertainty of when and where he was confined is this statement, 1933 and 1934, was in jail because of wealth. This from the “Punishments ... Criminal Proceedings” section of the EWZ records.1,3,2,6,5 |
| Residence | From 1929 to 1931 she and Nikodemus lived at Arkhangelsk, Russia.1,3 |
| Residence | From 1931 to 1940 she lived at Eigenfeld, Odessa, Russia.1 |
| Residence | From 1940 to 1941 she and Nikodemus lived at Odessa (city), Odessa, Russia.1 |
| Residence | From 1941 to 1943 she and Nikodemus lived at Kudrawsk, Nikolajew Oblast, Ukraine.1 |
| Residence | In October 1943 she and Nikodemus were at Schönfeld, Odessa, Russia. The family was only there for a short time.1 |
| Travel To* | She and Nikodemus arrived at Tereschka on 17 December 1943. Since 30 Oct 1943, they had been "traveling in the Reich." |
| Residence | During January 1944 she and Nikodemus were at Fereschka, Kamenets-Podolsk, Ukraine. |
| Residence* | On 29 January 1944 she and Nikodemus lived at Brunnstätter Str. Nr. 61, Lentschütz, Reichsgau Wartheland, Germany.1 |

Amelia Hilfer
F, #1181, b. 5 September 1887, d. 15 July 1982
| Birth* | She was born on 5 September 1887 in Landau, Odessa, Russia.1 |
| Marriage* | On 29 November 1909, Amelia Hilfer married Raphael George Fleck, son of Georg G Fleck and Anna Frank, in Landau, Odessa, Russia. Amelia was 22 years old. Raphael was 24.1 |
| Sail To* | They arrived at the port of Kingston upon Hull, England, United Kingdom, in spring of 1913. With them were their children Michael age 3 and Rose age 11 months. They were classified as “Transmigrants, that is alien passengers (other than first-class passengers) who arrived in the United Kingdom, having in their possession Prepaid Through Tickets and in respect of whom security has been given that they will proceed to places outside of the United Kingdom.” From Hull, they would travel almost directly east some 130 miles to reach Liverpool.2 |
| Sail From | She and Raphael were aboard the S.S. Megantic that sailed from Liverpool, England, United Kingdom, on 10 June 1913.3,2 |
| Sail To | They arrived at the port of Quebec, Que., Canada, on 18 June 1913. While in Montreal, Que., Ralph and Amelia's third child, a son was born. They crossed the border and were processed into the United States at St. Albans, Vermont. The manifest shows that Estevan, Sask., Canada was their final destination. The family was only in Canada a short time before moving to a farm some 20 miles south in Divide Co., North Dakota. A year earlier, his younger brother George (See George Lawrence Fleck), used Raphael’s credentials when crossing the border into the United States at Laredo, Texas, from Argentina.4,5,6,1 |
| Anecdote | The 1920 census shows that Ralph, wife Amelia, and six children rented a farm where they lived in Troy Township of Divide County. The census also shows that their three youngest children were born in North Dakota. The oldest of those born in North Dakota was Francisca who was five at the time of the enumeration. This would mean that the family moved from Canada to the United States by May 1915 at the latest.4 |
| Anecdote | The 1930 census shows that the family moved to Wyoming where they rented and operated an “irrigated farm” in Veteran, an area some fifteen miles southwest of Torrington, Wyoming. The family had made the move from North Dakota to Wyoming sometime between 1924 and 1928 as evidenced by the enumerated ages and birthplaces of the two youngest Fleck children. This census also shows that Raphael and Amelia both completed four years of high school.7 |
| Death* | On 15 July 1982, at age 94 she died at Goshen County Memorial Nursing Home in Torrington, Goshen Co., Wyo., USA.1 |
| Funeral* | Amelia's funeral was held at St. Rose Catholic Church in Torrington, Goshen Co., Wyo., USA, on 19 July 1982.1 |
| Burial | Her remains were buried in Valley View Cemetery at Torrington, Goshen Co., Wyo., USA.1 |
