Iwan Ragulina, born on 27.10.1944 in Hamburg, died on 29.10.1944

Essener Street 54 (formerly camp Tannenkoppel, Weg 4, also called "Tarpenbek = Forced labor camp of the armaments industry in Hamburg Langenhorn)

Ivan Ragulina was born in Hamburg on October 27, 1944. His mother Anna Ragulina, born on May 15, 1922 in Kradnarak/Charkow, was of Roman Catholic faith and single. Deported from her native Ukraine, she had to perform forced labor at the engine plant in Hamburg-Langenhorn since November 23, 1942. She was housed in the "Ostarbeiterlager Tannenkoppel", Weg 4. On December 2, 1943, she was admitted to the Langenhorn Hospital with the diagnosis of "poliarthritis" (inflammation of the joints), and after seven days, on December 9, 1943, she was released back to the Tannenkoppel camp. In the time that followed, she became pregnant.

One day before the birth of her children, she was expecting twins, Anna Ragulina was taken to the Finkenau Women's Clinic, Hamburg-Uhlenhorst. The next day she gave birth to twins Alexan and Ivan. Ivan, the second born, lived only a short time.
He died in the women's hospital at 3:20 a.m. on October 29, 1944. The hospital's obituary lists the cause of death as "prematurity (II twin) weakness of life" and Baars as the signing physician.

Iwan was 2 days old.

Twelve days after his death his burial took place on November 10, 1944 in the Ohlsdorf cemetery, grave location: Q 39, row 13, no. 16. His grave is no longer preserved. At the end of 1959 it was buried together with at least 146 graves of children of forced laborers on site Q 39.

Anna Ragulina had already returned to the forced labor camp Tannenkoppel ten days after the birth, on November 6, 1944, presumably with her son Alexan. The latter presumably survived with his mother; his fate is not yet known.

Addition:
Otto Baars, physician, born on March, 16 1909 in Hamburg, belonged to the National Socialist Motorist Corps (NSKK) from 1933, was a "Sturmarzt", Sanitäts-Obertruppenführer, from 1937 member of the NSDAP, 1938 with the National Socialist People's Welfare (NSV) and the NS Altherrenbund. After studying medicine, internship and voluntary service (1931-1935), he worked as an assistant physician at the Finkenau Women's Clinic from 1936, in Schwerin in 1937/38, and as senior physician at the Finkenau Women's Clinic from early 1939. The British Military Government dismissed him from service on October 20, 1945. After repeated appeals, he was considered by the Denazification Commission in October 1946 to be only a nominal member of the Party, and his rank as Sanitäts-Obertruppführer was not considered incriminating. In the meantime he ran his own medical practice. After a "periodic reexamination" in June 1949, he was considered exonerated and classified in Category V.
