David Gans and Esther Lisser had eleven children. Four of them survived the war. The other seven and their partners died, as did twenty-four grandchildren. One of their descendants wrote this poem in their memory:
Memorial
Sixty years after we were saved, you do not even have a grave.
And after years of misery, you were erased from history.
And all the beauty was stolen away that we could have shared with each other today.
For the survivors too it was hard to go on, for where in the world had all of you gone?
Where could we possibly look for you? But now there is something we can do.
In Sobibor there is a tree, Donated in your memory.
A tree, and a stone with your names by its side: a stone, a monument, a human life.
