Before Joseph Isidoor Vleeschhouwer was deported he lived at Elzenlaan 18 in Hilversum.
At the beginning of April 1943 prisoners from the concentration camp Bergen-Belsen were transferred to the concentration camp Theresienstadt. One of the three trains of this transport was liberated by a Russian army unit at the village of Troebitz. Many passengers did not survive this transport. Twenty-eight of the people who perished in the train were buried in a collective grave on 25 April 1945. This collective grave is located on the road to Wildgrube, just before the big bend to the left, at the left side of the slope, at around 20 m. distance of the road.
Joseph Isidore Vleeschhouwer was buried in this collective grave.
