Karl Zilversmit, birth 06 Jun 1888 Hengelo(OV), died 06 Jun 1942 Sobibor, Tijd en locatie van zijn overlijden zijn niet vast te stellen en zijn ook tegenstrijdig.
De " List of murdered Jews from Germany found in List of Jewish victims from the Memorial book "Victims of the Persecution of Jews under the National Socialist Tyranny in Germany 1933 - 1945" prepared by the German Federal Archives.' geeft aan dat hij in Sobibor verkeerde. (Zijn naam alhier is gespeld Carl). Twee Pages of Testimony door familieleden geven met een vraagteken Lublin als plaats van overlijden. Het is niet duidelijk waarop dit is gebaseerd. De Stern & Lobl Families Database - familypage Walter Zilversmit- http://sternmail.co.uk/sld/getperson.php?personID=I11821&tree=SLtree- geeft 6 Juni 1942 te Sobibor en dit gegeven is gevolgd. , son of Willem Heiman David Zilversmit and Sophie Polak Karl andHenriette's addresses in Leer were: 1st Rathausstrasse 72 2nd Am Pulverturm 25 which is where Gus and his brother Walter grew up. Karl and Hede went by the name Silberschmidt. Very unofficially.Eventually also signed papers this way, which got him into big trouble with the Nazi's for falsifyingdocuments. It seemed that it never occured to any one that one just couldn't do that. ]Remarks by Ilse Zilversmit-Canada-accuracy not verified] to: Henriette Lion, alias: Hedwig Lion, birth 15 Feb 1902 Wurm , Germany, died 03 May 1942 Krasniczyn Ghetto, daughter of Joseph Lion and Henriette Herz There is a question regarding Hedwig's name. According to a photocopy in a German language document her name is indicated as Henriette. Like her mother. She was called Hede, a short for Hedwig to avoid confusion. Also the marriage of her parents, Joseph and Henriette Lion took officially place on March 23, 1906, while Henriette was born in1902. Most probably in thos e days only a Chuppah had taken place years before, and the edict for civil marriage came down later. |
