Lisa Lederer (Liselota Borgesova)was born in Prague, Czechoslovakia.
Shortly before World War II, she met, Wolfgang Lederer and became his piano student and eventually his bride on September 11, 1941.
In 1942, Lisa was sent to Theresienstadt Concentration Camp, where her husband had been imprisoned only a month earlier.
While Theresienstadt, wives who had joined their husbands, were forbidden to live together as husband and wife.
On January 10, 1944, only 105 days after her husband Wolfgang was transported to Auschwitz Concentration Camp, Liselota was also sent to Auschwitz Concentration Camp.
Later, on April 29, 1945, Lisa was sent to Mauthausen Concentration Camp and was liberated there on May 5, 1945, by United States Army troops.
After liberation, Lisa made her way back to Prague, not knowing that her husband Wolfgang had survived. Wolfgang, meeting an old mutual friend from before the War, informed him that Lisa was still alive and that she had gone back to the apartment where they lived together just after they had been married. This is an amazing, but true story and everyday of the remainder of their lives together, they could always been seen holding hands, wherever they walked.
Lisa immigrated to Turkey in 1948 with her husband Wolfgang (aka Peter). In 1954, Lisa and Peter gave birth to a daughter, naming her Doris Margaret and in 1959, the Lederer family immigrated to the United States, where Wolfgang and Lisa lived in Seattle until their retirement.
In 1996, Lisa and Peter moved to Blacksburg, Virginia to be near his daughter and her husband, Clyde Shaw.
After the death of Peter in 1997, Lisa moved to Winchester, Virginia to live near her daughter Doris and her husband.
After her death, Lisa was cremated and her ashes are scattered among the ashes of her husband in the mountains of North Carolina. Lisa and Wolfgang Lederer loved the mountains!
