Dr. Emil Kellermann (Villány, 1896 – 1945) was a well-known physician and a talented self-taught painter. He lived in a house at 3 Felsőmalom utca in Pécs with his wife and two children. They were taken together to the ghetto in and around the MÁV tenement house and then to the collection camp set up in the Lakits barracks. Here, more than five thousand Jews from Pécs and the surrounding area awaited their fate, crammed into sheds, starving and lacking even the minimum sanitary conditions. The train deporting the Jews of Pécs left on 4 July 1944. It crossed the Hungarian border on 6 July and arrived at the Birkenau ramp on 8 July. Here the family was separated. Emil and his 14-year-old son were selected for forced labor. The seven-year-old Katalin and her mother as incapable of work were immediately sent to one of the gas chambers and executed.
