In June 1941, fourteen-year old Tamara Podriacikas and her eleven-year-old brother were at summer camp in Palanga, Lithuania. In the first hours of the German invasion of the Soviet Union, chaos reigned in the summer camp. Most of the children, among them Tamara, were sent back to their parents in Kovno. Tamara's lunch bag remained with her brother, Joseph.
Joseph and other children ran away with one of their counsellors to Soviet-controlled territory where they survived the war.
Tamara was sent with her parents to the Kovno ghetto, and was murdered in the Ninth Fort in the "Great Aktion" of October 1941.
