Jood Star of David Badge + Document Set
Three Dutch Jood stars recently discovered in the Netherlands inside of an old sewing box, along with a document sent to a Dutch Jew from the Lippmann, Rosenthal & Co. or simply Liro, also popularly known as the "German Robbery Bank" or "Nazi Bank". The document states that money will be taken from this persons bank account. Lippmann, Rosenthal & Co was a bank on Sarphatistraat near Weesperplein in Amsterdam. It was established during the German occupation in World War II to systematically register and then rob Jewish property (money, securities and valuables). Through this bank, the Nazis systematically plucked the Dutch Jews bare before deporting them.The document comes from a Jewish family from Boxmeer. During the Second World War, all 19 Jewish residents of Boxmeer were deported and died in concentration camps.The document of the Rijkspostspaarbank comes from Mrs Karoline Gottlieb-Marx from Boxmeer. The Gottlieb family lived in a farm in Berlichingen near Heilbronn in southern Germany.At the end of 1937 the family, father Samuel, mother Karoline Gottlieb-Marx and four children, fled the Nazi terror to the Netherlands. They ended up in a farmhouse in Wellerlooi (Limburg). In September 1938 they moved to Boxmeer. The eldest daughter, Julie, emigrated to New York in 1938, at the age of 16.The daughter Helga died on 6-2-1941 of peritonitis. She would be the last Jewess to be buried in the Jewish cemetery in Vierlingsbeek during the war. In April 1943 the family was taken to the Vught transit camp. On May 23, 1943, the family was transferred to Westerbork without the eldest son Julius because he was staying in the Moerdijk subcamp to work for the Nazis.The parents and the youngest son Max were killed on 28-5-1943 in Sobibor. Julius later also ended up in Sobibor and was killed there on 23-7-1943.
