(1/10) Because of the tweet of @ferstl_roman
about Ingeborg Wolfová I wanted to know the fate of all the other children.
Sadly enough it's unbelievably tragic.😢
This picture shows the class of 1940/1941 on Federal Jewish Reform Grammar School in Brno.

(2/10) On this picture are 35 children and 1 teacher.
25 children, 10 boys and 15 girls, and the teacher did not survive. 😢
They were deported to a concentration camp or a ghetto in occupied Poland...

(10/10) To me, photos like these emphasize the magnitude of the Holocaust much more than the number 6 million.

Poor children and all your parents and other relatives, we may and will never ever forget!

(1/5) On 02-05-1940 Levie Mug, who was called Loeki, was born in Rotterdam. This was 12 days before the Germans bombed Rotterdam.
He was the son of Alexander, born 07-04-1907 and Sara Mug nee de Wolf, born 14-09-1912.
They lived in Rotterdam in the Agniesestraat.

(2/5) Alexander worked as a doorman at the Cineac Cinema in Rotterdam. He was standing there in an uniform at the entrance. The cinema was opened in 1935 but had to close after the bombings.
It's unknown (to me) what he did for a living afterwards.

(3/5) From 20-02-1943 they were in concentration camp Vught. It is unclear if they went voluntarily or were deported. They were there for 4 months, but as Levie was only 3 years, he and his mother were deported on the so called children's transport.

(1/7) On 25-04-1924 Betje Judik Viool was born in Rotterdam. She was the daughter of Raphäel, born 04-12-1895 who was married to Sophia Viool nee Soesman, born 28-01-1895.
Betje had a younger sister Judik, born 04-05-1926. Both children were the daughters of Raphäel's first wife.

(2/7) Betje was a hairdresser. Betje's father was a pastry chef. The Viool family was a well known family and had several pastery shops in Rotterdam. Many family members worked in those shops.
They used to live in this house.

(3/7) How and when they were deported to #Westerbork is unclear to me. The date on the Jewish Council card says 10-04-1943 as first date. While in Westerbork Raphäel send a card to a nurse Knol in the hospital in Rotterdam.
I don't know if she is related or a good friend.

(1/8) On 24-04-1936 Jozef Alexander Granaat was born in Rotterdam. He was the son of Simon📷, born 13-09-1905 in London and Rachel Bromet, born 03-05-1907 in Amsterdam. Jozef had 3 older brothers:
> Maurice, born 22-07-1928
> Max, born 07-08-1929
> Jacques, born 10-05-1930

(2/8) The family lived in Amsterdam.
The first date on Simon's Jewish Council card says 17-09-1942 so they probably arrived there on that date. On the same card, in red pencil, BB 1.2.44.
They were deported to Bergen-Belsen on 01-02-1944.

(3/8) The whole family survived in Bergen Belsen until close to it's liberation. But early April 1945 prisoners were deported to Theresienstadt. 3 trains left from Bergen Belsen. On the last train were 2500 prisoners (1/3 were Dutch), including the granaat family.

(1/8) On 23-04-1911 Simon Looper was born in Amsterdam. He had 6 years of primary education and started his working life transporting loads by bicycle. He soon got his driver's license. Over time he became the owner of a moving and forwarding company.

(2/8) In 1932 he married Roza Rijne (📷with Nathan), born 24-10-1910. At that time she was pregnant. Nathan was born on 02-09-1932. A year later, on 03-12-1933 Nathan's brother Isaac was born.

Early 1941 there were anti-Semitic fights in Amsterdam.

(3/8) Simon made one of his trucks available to the gangs formed by Jewish boys and men. The truck had been converted into a kind of 'robbery van' with which the boys could quickly be on the spot to act against the NSB (NSB was fascist party in the Netherlands).
