For instance Flora Bachrach (3), born in The Hague on November 16, 1939, at 13 Spaarnedwarsstraat, was deported in a children’s convoy from Vught via Westerbork to Sobibor in June 1943 and killed on July 2 of that year. With her were her sister Klara (6), born on December 26, 1936, and her brother Sine (1), born on May 30, 1942. Seven days later, on July 9, 1943, their thirty-five-year-old mother Bertha Bachrach-Dessaur, born September 18, 1907, was killed in Sobibor. One can only imagine her heartrending pain as before her eyes dance the smiles of her children, one of whom was still toddling around in diapers and forming his first words.
The Weinreb family lived at 70 Hasseltsestraat, in Scheveningen. David Weinreb, born May 15, 1941, in The Hague, dies in Westerbork camp on April 27, 1943, and is cremated three days later. Two weeks later he would have been two years old. The urn containing his ashes is in the Jewish cemetery in Diemen in section U, row 5, grave number 6. There is no information about the other members of the Weinreb family. So, it is presumed that David’s parents and their two remaining children survived the war. One could carry on like this for ever: follow the histories of once-living people and converse with their ghosts. But people do not have the time.
One other thing: the deportations of Jews from Holland began on June 15, 1942, and continued until September 13, 1943. Some 101,000 people were taken away (and killed). The Hague assembly center was first situated in Scheveningen prison, then in the “vacated” Jewish orphanage in Paviljoensgracht.
When the sun illuminates Rabbijn Maarsenplein, the six chair-ladders gleam. The shafts of silver arrows rebound from them in all directions, they fly in a circle, into the air, left to right, bury themselves in the ground. But down these chair-ladders long shadows also glide, pouring over the playground and spreading beyond its edges. Then darkness falls over the merry memorial to the murdered children.
In Holland, Andreas Ban did not look for Demnig’s stumbling blocks. But still, standing rooted to the spot in the children’s playground in The Hague, unable to summon the strength to climb even onto the lowest chair-ladder, he remembered how Demnig repeated ad nauseam: People are forgotten only when we forget their names.
