Remembering de Couzijn Family

The Couzijn family consisted out of 3 people. Marcus, his wife Hanni end their daughter Mirjam.

Three people who were at the start of family life. Yet they were denied that most basic right, life. Not only were they denied the right of life they were also denied the dignity of being buried as a family.

Mirjam was murdered age 1, only 5 days after her birthday, She was gassed together with her mother on August 28,1942.

Initially it was believed that Marcus also was murdered that day ,but it later emerged that he was murdered on January 4, 1943.

Usually I like to delve deeper into the family history of these families, but today I can’t for some reason. It is just hard for me, maybe it is because I am a father. Marcus was born on Christmas day 1905.

    de Couzijn family.
    Their last address is now a sleepy peaceful area in Amsterdam. Such a pity they were all murdered in the same year, that they were torn away from family and friends.
    Such a happy looking young couple who’s only crime was to be born Jewish.
    A baby who celebrated her first and only birthday in a brutal concentration camp surrounded by guards who hated her, vicious dogs who were starved to keep them awake to the possibility of human flesh. And her crime?
    We must never forget
