Biography

Ida (Tarschys) Oster died as a result of persecution during the Holocaust.

Ida (Tarschys) Oster has Jewish Roots.

Ida Oster (née Tarschys) was born on 9 August 1885 in Vilnius, Lithuania. She was the daughter of Dora and Zemach Tarschys (both born in Russia). Ida had primary schooling and had gone to industrial school.

In 1912 she married Leopold Oster (b. 1887 in Christiania) in Stockholm. Ida and Leopold came to Norway in 1915, with their eldest daughter Sonja (b. 1914). In Norway, they had two more daughters, Mirjam (b. 1918) and Dora (b. 1921).

In Jo Benkows «Fra synagogen til Løvebakken» he describes Ida as your typical doting, Jewish mother who loved to fuzz over and serve his brother, her son in law, infinite amounts of delicious, home cooked Jewish dishes.

Ida lived with her daughter Mirjam and they were both arrested on 26 November 1942. The same day she was deported on the DS Donau to Stettin and from there to the extermination camp Auschwitz. On arrival, Ida and Mirjam were sent directly to the gas chamber and killed.
