I am actually happy that I could not find any images of Anton de Rosa because I don’t think I could take that. When I say 10 months of life, that is literally what it was. He only lived for 10 months. The picture above is of his birthplace, Bergen Belsen Concentration Camp. Where was born 80 years ago today?
From Bergen Belsen he was deported to Theresienstadt. The date when this happened is not known. On October 6, 1944, he was deported from Theresienstadt to Auschwitz. There were approximately 107 others on that transport, including Rolf Dirk Ullmann, another baby I wrote about before. Rolf Dirk Ullmann had also been born in captivity in Westerbork.
Both Dutch babies, Anton de Rosa and Rolf Dirk Ullmann, were murdered together with their mothers upon arrival at Auschwitz on October 8, 1944.
It is so hard to comprehend that to this day, babies are still being born and often murdered whilst in captivity, So few lessons have been learned.
