Regina Horowitz
Richard Horowitz is Dolek and Regina Horowitz’s son and Niusia Horowitz’s brother. Though he makes it safely to Oskar Schindler’s factory in Brinnlitz, he is rounded up for medical experiments in Auschwitz, and his father is taken too. There, he sees his mother and sister right as their train is about to leave Auschwitz for Brinnlitz. Richard survives in Auschwitz because he is given a tattoo, and he is found there by Russian soldiers.
