It is well known that the Nazis made no distinction in age when deporting Jews in the Netherlands. The result was that even venerable elderly people were murdered in Auschwitz and Sobibor, and other camps. Among the victims listed on the Joods Monument(Jewish Monument) site, Klara Borstel-Engelsman is the oldest, at the remarkable age of 102 (Pictured above). Abel Herzberg included a photograph of her in his Chronicle of the Persecution of the Jews (p. 210). Despite her age, she was murdered in Theresienstadt. The oldest man on the monument, Meijer van Zuiden, was murdered in Sobibor at the age of 98.
I won’t include extensive biographies for all these individuals, but I will share a few key details. What matters most is that these people should be remembered. Two aspects of the Holocaust that I find almost impossible to comprehend are the murder of infants and the killing of those who were nearing the end of their lives anyway.
