![]() The picture at the start of this post is of the admin team in Westerbork. In my opinion, the only badge that matters is that of a Human Being, and the only rule that should apply is mutual respect for each other. ![]() The one thing that puzzles me today is the eagerness of so many people and groups to put ‘badges’ on themselves. During the war, it was compulsory in all occupied countries. However, in the 1930s the Nazis brought it back to Germany, and in May 1942 in the Netherlands. With the coming of the French Revolution in the 18th century and Jewish emancipation in the 19th century, the “Jewish badge” disappeared in Western Europe. This was not a new idea since medieval times many other societies had forced their Jewish citizens to wear badges to identify themselves. This measure made it easy to identify Jewish people and was designed to stigmatize and dehumanize them. Starting in May 1942, wearing a yellow fabric star in the Netherlands, called the “Star of David,” was made compulsory by the Nazis. I want you all to look into the faces of these two sweet angels and ask yourself, “What can I do to stop this from happening again?” The scary thing is that there have been genocides, albeit on a smaller scale, after the Holocaust where babies once again were victims. These were only two of the 1.5 million children. From there they were deported to Sobibor where they both were killed. She had reached two years of age.īoth babies had been deported to Westerbork on 25 January 1943. Nehemia Levy Cohen was born in Amsterdam on 20 December 1940. She was born in Groningen on 17 March 1942 and murdered in Sobibor on. The picture above is of Roosje van der Hal. The only time you expect revenge is when you know you did something wrong. But, how pure are you as a race when you murder babies? Another reason was that they were afraid that when these babies grew up, they would possibly look for revenge for the death of their families. I know one of the reasons behind it was the purification of the Aryan race. The one thing I can’t get to terms with, and even refuse to get to terms with, is the murder of babies during the Holocaust. She was eight years old when murdered in Auschwitz on 1 February 1943.

The Chaim-Tannenhaus family was arrested and on December 31, 1942, they were deported to Westerbork. Brigitte was the youngest of the daughters and in 1940 she arrived in the Netherlands with her parents. The family originally came from Duisburg. On 9 October 1940, the parents Julius Chaim and Esther Chaim-Tannenhaus and their three daughters settled in Nijmegen, coming from Haarlem. The idea was that the children would be safe in the Netherlands and there was hope that the rest of the family would also be able to settle in the Netherlands. The Netherlands hardly let any Jews in, but children who arrived alone were taken care of by families or placed in children’s homes. The parents and the youngest daughter arrived in the Netherlands in 1940.Įlfride and Renate Chaim were sent to the Netherlands ahead of their parents and younger sibling in 1939, as was often the case in those days. ![]() ![]() To be able to flee Germany, some parents saw no other option other than to send their children to the Netherlands on their own, which may mean, that the parents were given permission at a later date and allowed to enter the Netherlands. At the end of the 1930s, German Jews often did not get permission to emigrate to the Netherlands. In 1939, two daughters had already been sent to the Netherlands and taken care of in children’s homes or with families. He was married to Esther Tannenhaus and was the father of three daughters, Renate, Elfride and Brigitte. Julius Chaim moved to Nijmegen on 15 October 1940, from Amsterdam. As it was for this post, but then he thought using just the raw data as the title is probably the best tribute for this family. Sometimes I struggle with finding a suitable title for a post.
