(1/8) Amsterdam, 11-05-1937. Lea Judith de la Penha was born on this day. She was the daughter of David, a wallpaperer, born 12-08-1909 and Judith de la Penha nee Rodrigues Parreira, a tailor, born 27-09-1903.
They used to live in Amsterdam!

(2/8) This picture was probable made in 1939 while they were visiting friends, the Neehus family, during Christmas.
Because David expected to be deported very soon, he gave this book to the family.

(3/8) In the book David wrote a message.
It says:
"For our friends Bets, Willem and Liesje Neehus.
In memory of our pleasant and many years of friendship.
On our exodus to Germany.
Judith, Lea en David de La Penha.
Amsterdam 27-07-1942."

(1/7) On 09-05-1937 Alfred Lezer was born in Amsterdam. He was the son of Lion Gerzinus (called Leo), born 06-05-1905 and Henriette Lezer nee Fischel, born 15-01-1908. 2 years before, on 07-03-1935, his brother Coenraad was born.

(2/7) Leo Lezer and his family came to live in Wijhe in early May 1940, at the request of the Medical Inspectorate to replace the seriously ill doctor Woudstra. After that doctor died he took over the practice. As of May 1941 he was no longer allowed to treat Non-Jewish patients.

(3/7) They then moved to Zwolle where he became head of the Jewish hospital, but was not allowed to go out on the street after 20:00. So the nurses on duty were on their own. Early October 1942 the first major deportation from Zwolle took place. They had to report at a gymnasium.

(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...

(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.
