The Bader family was deported from the town of Kyjov in the Czech Republic to the Terezin ghetto in January 1943.
Grete was sent to work in a factory "essential to the German war effort" which protected her from deportation to the death camps. At the end of 1944, her husband Pavel, fourteen-year-old Jiri (George) and ten-year-old Vera were issued deportation orders to Auschwitz.
Grete begged to be allowed to join her family, but her repeated requests were denied. Together the parents decided that Vera would not report for the transport, but would remain with her mother in Terezin. Grete managed to hide Vera until the end of the war and they both survived.
Jiri and Pavel were deported to Auschwitz where they were both murdered.
Grete kept the ring as a token of remembrance, and eventually donated it to Yad Vashem for perpetuity.
