Notizen zu dieser Person
In juli 1942 woonde hij in bij zijn dochter Selma Levy-Simon. Selma Simon grew up in Setterich (near Aachen). Her parents still lived there. When the terror against the Jewish people worsened, these very old people fled to the Netherlands on March 18, 1939. They found refuge with their daughter and son-in-law in Eygelshoven. According to the Dutch registration of Jews (very accurately looked after by Dutch officials), they all lived in the Laurastraat 89 in Eygelshoven in July 1942. Ultimately, Erwin, Selma and their three children were arrested and transferred to Camp Herzogenbusch (near Vught) in the Netherlands. Selma Levy's parents: respectively 86 and 81 years old were too ill to be transported to a concentration camp. Before they reached their destination in Vught, they had to be left behind in a home for the elderly in Maastricht. When they should recover, they were planned to be send to Vught also. However, they died within a few months. They were buried in the Jewish cemetery in Maastricht. Their graves still exist.
