Emanuel Hilversum and his family

Emanuel Hilversum was married to Betje Fransman. The couple lived on the Trompstraat in Amersfoort, although they are listed as living on the Scherbierstraat as well. Emanuel Hilversum was a street vendor and sold pots and pans from his cart. After his father Nathan Hilversum purchased a city bus, Emanuel worked as a driver.

Emanuel, his wife Betje and their daughter Jentje were caught while in hiding in The Hague and deported to Sobibor via Auschwitz.
