Sara Engelhardt was born on 14 November 1905 in Landeshut (Polish: Łańcut), Silesia. She had several siblings, of whom one sister, Regina, and one brother are known. Her father, Chaim Engelhardt, was a fishmonger; his wife, Deborah Engelhardt (née Gottreich), was a housewife and beloved mother.
Sara Engelhardt moved to Berlin with her family. There, she married Eisig Izek Hütter and moved with him to an apartment at Linienstraße 64. They had two children: Doris, born in 1929, and Herbert, born in 1931. Sara’s sister Regina lived with her husband Isaak Schipper, a tailor, only a few houses away, at Linienstraße 61 (at the corner of Gormannstraße 19a).
In 1925, Sara’s mother Debora (‘Doris’) died in Berlin at age 58 and was buried in the Jewish cemetery in Weißensee. All of the girls in the family were named Doris in her memory.
Because Sara’s father, Chaim Engelhardt, held Polish citizenship, he was deported in 1938. With his second wife, he moved to Uruguay via Poland, Russia, and Siberia, where they remained until the end of World War II. He lived in Montevideo, suffering from illness and paralysis, until his death in 1951.
On 28 October 1938, Sara’s husband, Eisig Hütter, was deported to Bentschen (Polish: Zbąszyń) as part of the ‘Polish Operation’ [Polenaktion]. Then Sara, like her relatives Hermann and Paula Schipper, worked as a forced labourer at Krone & Co. (precision mechanics) in Berlin Treptow. Just over a year after his expulsion, Eisig Hütter returned to Berlin, liquidated his business, and was sent to Sachsenhausen concentration camp. He died in Auschwitz in 1943.
In 1942, Sara's daughter Doris became seriously ill and was hospitalised at the Jewish hospital on Iranische Strasse in Wedding. On 19 October 1942, while Doris was still in hospital, Sara was deported from Berlin to Riga along with her son, Herbert. Both were murdered immediately upon arrival. Sara was 47, Herbert 11. After her treatment in hospital, Doris was deported to Theresienstadt in June 1943. In October 1944, she was taken from there to Auschwitz, where she died at age 14.
