Biography Login to edit
was a Czech physicist of Jewish origin, specialising in the field of acoustics. During the Second World War, he was active in the Czech Resistance. Kolmer was born in Prague in 1922 to an assimilated Jewish family. His father died in 1932, and he subsequently spent holidays in Austria with his uncle. As a result, he was in Austria during the 1938–1945 Nazi invasion and occupation of Czechoslovakia. Kolmer was selected to be part of the Aufbaukommando, the first transportation to Terezín. The transport contained young able-bodied Jewish men, with the intention that the men would assist in building the ghetto. In Terezín, he was specifically forced to build bunk beds, since he had carpentry experience. At one point, he was interned in the Small Fortress, and the treatment of prisoners by the SS that he witnessed there prompted him to join the underground resistance. He found an escape route out of Terezín, but never used it; the route was used by a few prisoners later. He was able to use his Aufbaukommando status to temporarily protect some of his family members, including his grandmother, mother, and fiancée. His mother died in Terezín in 1941.
