Regina Larissa Prieditis was born in Hamburg on June 12, 1945. Her mother Erika Prieditis, born on June 10, 1922 in Walka, was of the Evangelical Lutheran faith and single. Deported from Latvia, she came via Wesermünde from the "Drei Bergen" camp with a group of Latvian women to Hamburg-Ottensen on October 15, 1943, to the "Letten" barracks in the Hohenzollernring camp, Moortwiete (today Hohenzollernring/corner of Daimlerstrasse), "home of the fish industry". She had to perform forced labor for the Rathmann & Co company, fish smokehouse. Since 1943 she had been registered with "Fremdenpass 2214/43". Four months later, on February 22, 1944, she was transferred with the same group of 16 Latvian women to the Friesensweg 5 camp in Hamburg-Bahrenfeld to work as a forced laborer for the Hermann Ofterdinger salad and mayonnaise factory. In the following time she became pregnant.

On February 28, 1945, in the 6th month of her pregnancy, she was sent to the camp at Sportstraße 10 and to forced labor as a "kitchen help" for the German Labor Front (DAF), Vereinigte Deutsche Metallwerke AG (VDM).

One month after the end of the war, Erika Prieditis gave birth to her daughter Regina Larissa in the Alsterdorf General Hospital. Then both were transferred to the former "Ostarbeiterlager Tannenkoppel", Weg No. 4. Regina Larissa had to spend the short time of her life there.

She died at 5:30 a.m. on August 26, 1945, at Eppendorf University Hospital. In the hospital's obituary, the cause of death is listed as "suspected vitium cordis comp." (heart valve defect) and v. d. Borg as the signing physician.

Regina Larissa was 2 months and 2 weeks old.

Five days after her death she was buried on August 31, 1945 in the Ohlsdorf cemetery, grave location: Q 39, row 21, no. 30. Her 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.
