Arthur Joseph Durlacher was an opera singer. In the late thirties he emigrated with his wife Erna Sofie Salomonica – born from a Romanian-Jewish business family - and their child from Germany to the Netherlands. The family was deported to Westerbork. There Arthur Joseph acted as a singer during the cabaret performances and he coordinated the practical work for the performances as a stage hand. In 1944 he was deported to Theresienstadt. Finally he was murdered in Bergen-Belsen in 1945.
