Inge Osterman was the wife of Josef Osterman and mother of Jon Osterman.

Biography[]

Inge married Josef Osterman, despite the wishes of his family. Together they had a son named Jon.

Because she was Jewish, things became difficult for her when the war broke out. In 1939, Josef promised to find a way to leave Germany secretly for Inge's protection. Inge had the feeling that some things can't change, but followed her husband's plan.

One night, as they were leaving on a wagon, with their son Jon hidden in a box for food goods, they were stopped by two soldiers shortly before the borders. When the soldiers were about to open the box, Inge sacrificed herself by running away, giving time for Josef to shoot one of the soldiers. The other soldier caught up with her and shot her down. Josef avenged her and promised to do best of their lives, as they owed it to her sacrifice.
