(1/6) On my daily walk I just 'stumbled' over 2 new Stolpersteine here in Gouda.
The first is Basia (Basje) Austeiczer-Udler. She was born on 15-09-1872 in Kosmin (Poland) and was married to Max Austeiczer, born 22-07-1870 in Starokonstantinov (now Ukraine) who died in 1932.
(2/6) They had 2 daughters. Berta, born 25-07-1898 and Schrifa, born 06-07-1896. Both were born in Starokonstantinov.
In 1910 the family came to Rotterdam and lived there on several places. Schrifa, died 23-05-1935.
In 1943 Basje and Berta lived in Gouda.
(3/6) Berta was a lawyer and attorney.
Basje probably was in #Westerbork from 25-03-1943. Berta survived the war and maybe she tried to help her mother via her job. On Basjes Jewish Council Card(s) it says that the vice president of the Rotterdam court tried to get her on the...
(4/6) list of Frederiks en Van Dam. Frederiks and van Dam were 2 Dutch politicians who made a list with Jewish people who had been important to Germany, like fighting in World War 1 or famous artists. The list should protect those people from going to concentration camps.
(5/6) They were put in special reservation camps. Until the fall of 1943 when they were deported to #Westerbork and on 04-09-1944 to #Theresienstadt.
Although some died, many survived the war.
More details on this (translated) Wikipedia page:
…fdy-nl-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Plan-Fred…
(6/6) Anyhow Basje wasn't put on this list. The last Jewish Council card says, on 28-04-1943 'further steps are unnecessary'.
Basje was already deported on 20-04-1943 to #Sobibor. She arrived there on 23-04-1943 and was killed on arrival.
Basje, we will remember you! 😢💔🕯️✡️

(1/9) After Bergen-Belsen was liberated on 15-04-1945, photographer George Rodger took this picture. A picture of a young boy walking along dead people, looking averted. For many years it was thought this was a German boy who walked carelessly past the corpses. Image
(2/9) But it was Dutch Jewish boy Sieg Maandag, born 24-08-1937 in Amsterdam. He is the son of Isaäc, who worked at the diamond exchange, born 14-05-1912 and Keetje nee Groen. He had a younger sister, Henneke, born 30-12-1938. Sieg was only 5 when he was deported.😢 Image
(3/9) They probably arrived on 05-05-1943 in #Westerbork.
On 01-02-1944 they were all moved to Bergen Belsen 📷concentration camp. 10 months later, on 04-12-1944, Isaäc was deported to concentration camp Sachsenhausen and the next day Keetje was deported to Neuengamme camp. Image

Sonja had a younger brother Abraham or Appie as he was called, born 11-10-1935 (7yr). ImageImageImageImage
(2/4) Samuel was a wholesaler of foodstuffs, or as his truck says "Groothandel in biscuits" or "wholesaler of biscuits". They used to lived in Amsterdam on the Plantage Franschelaan number 25, which was after the war renamed to Henri Polaklaan. ImageImageImage
(3/4) They lived in the house with, what was called, the most beautiful balcony of Amsterdam.

In 1943 they were deported to #Westerbork.
According their Jewish Council Card they were probably in #Westerbork from 25-05-1943.
They 'lived' in barrack 62. ImageImage

(1/4) On 12-04-1934 Jacob Groenteman was born.
Today he could have been 87 years old...
He is the son of Abraham, born 18-10-1910 and Marie Anna nee van der Goen, born 22-03-1910.
Jacob had a little sister Rosina, born 30-09-1936. ImageImageImage
(2/4) They used to live in Amsterdam in the Jodenbreestraat 62 (📷1909). It was a lively straat where many Jews lived. It was in the middle of the so called "JUDENVIERTEL"
In 1944 most of the Jews were deported (killed😢) and the houses in the Jodenbreestraat were empty. ImageImage
(3/4) Especially in the winter of 1944-1945, the so called 'hongerwinter' literally 'hunger winter' everything what could be burned was taken from the houses. After the war many of the dilapidated houses were demolished. So the street as it was before the war does no longer exist

> Saartje Henriette, born 23-11-1929 (13)
> David Eduard, born 14-04-1933 (10)
(2/5) Eliazar had a butchery in Woerden. The Izaks family was completely assimilated, given that Izaks and his father ran an "electric beef, veal and pork butcher shop" at in Woerden, where Eliazar also lived with his family and his parents.
(3/5) This family picture was made shortly before they went to camp Vught. They were in Vught from 22-04-1943. On 07-06-1943 Henriette was deported with the 2 youngest children to #Westerbork. The next day they were deported to #Sobibor where they arrive on 11-06-1943.

(1/9) When an Utrecht student, Adriaantje (Ad) Groenendijk, witnesess the first raids on Jews in Amsterdam she 'finds' 4 Jewish toddlers in the street who've been left alone.😢
Their parents were deported. Ad takes the children with her to Utrecht.
(2/9) She brings them to the house of the parents of classmate Jan Meulenbelt. The children could not stay there so Jan asks other students for help to find a safe place for the children. This is the start of a resistance group which helps hiding Jewish children.
(3/9) After the war the group was called 'het Utrechtse Kindercomité' (the Utrecht children committee).
At first they think it's quite harmless as they are only helping children. But the Nazis obviously didn't agree.

(1/7) Elias Bloemkoper could have celebrated his 86th birthday. He was born 26-03-1935 as the son of Victor Ephraim, 18-08-1909 and Jetje, 07-05-1910. Elias had 3 siblings:
> Jacob, born 22-04-1934
> Roza Marianne, born 06-10-1936
> Abraham, 04-09-1938
They lived in Leiden.
(2/7) Victor was cantor and religious teacher. The first year of the war life was quite normal. The children played with the other children in the street, but in 1941 it started to change. The children had to leave their own school.
(3/7) More and more things became forbidden for Jews. Early 1942 Elias drew this drawing of children in the playground.
He wrote on it "Voor Jooden verbooden" or "forbidden for Jews".😢
In the spring of 1943 they were advised to go into hiding.
