Lisa’s mother, Elisabeth taught the children to read and write. Fritzl told Elisabeth and the three children who remained (Kerstin, Stefan, and Felix) that they would be gassed if they tried to escape.

Lisa and her siblings was removed from the chamber as infants to live with Fritzl and his wife, who were approved by local social services authorities as their foster parents.
