Josef M. LILLE, M.D., born on February 19th, 1902 in Kozlow/Poland (entitled residency ("heimatberechtigt") for Kozlow/Poland, citizenship 1938: Poland), son of Moses Lille (unemployed) and Taube Lille (1873-1932), lived in Vienna's 2nd district, Haidgasse 14/17, was enrolled finally in the fall term 1937/38 at the Medical School in the 2nd year of his studies.
In 1938, after the takeover of power of National-Socialism he was forced to quit his studies for racist reason and to leave the University of Vienna (fall term 1937/38 was validated on June 2nd, 1938).
He was able to emigrate to France in time and lived in Billom, Puy de Dôme, Auvergne, but was arrested in Paris on December 16th, 1943 and deported to Buchenwald concentration camp near Weimar/Germany (January 24th, 1944, prisoner number 42942) and from there to Flossenbürg concentration camp (prisoner number 6963) near Hamburg/Germany on February 24th, 1944.
It is possible that he survived, but nothing is known about his further live so far.
