Viktor Tomaschuk was born in Hamburg on August 14, 1944. His mother Anastasia, called Nastja, Tomaschuk, born on Febr. 3, 1925 in Antonini, was of Roman Catholic faith and single. Deported from her native Ukraine, she was forced to perform forced labor in Hamburg-Langenhorn for Hanseatische Kettenwerk GmbH (HAK) and Deutsche Meßapparate GmbH (Messap), respectively, from February 16, 1942, and was housed in the "Ostarbeiterlager Tannenkoppel," Weg 4.

On January 20, 1944, Anastasia Tomaschuk was admitted to the Alsterdorf hospital because of pregnancy complaints and was released to the Tannenkoppel camp after nine days.

One day before the birth of her child, she was admitted to the Finkenau Women's Hospital, Hamburg-Uhlenhorst. Eight days after giving birth, on August 22, 1944, she returned to the Tannenkoppel camp with her son Viktor. Viktor had to spend the short time of his life there. The nutritional and living conditions were completely inadequate for him.

On October 4, 1944, he was admitted to the Langenhorn Hospital with the diagnosis "bronchopneumonia" (pneumonia). There in the psychiatric ward he died after three weeks, on October 22, 1944 at 9:00 am. In the hospital's obituary, the cause of death is listed as "pneumonia", "pedatrophy" (emaciation - the most severe degree of nutritional disturbance), and Blumenthal as the signing physician.

Viktor was 2 months and 8 days old.

Eight days after his death, his burial took place on October 30, 1944 in the Ohlsdorf cemetery, grave location: Q 39, row 14, no. 25. His grave is no longer preserved. At the end of 1959 it was levelled together with at least 146 graves of children of forced laborers on area Q 39.
