Paul’s parents, Isaac and ?, went from Germany to Shanghai in early 1939, after which Paul went to Belgium with a Kindertransport. He lived there with a Dutch foster family, the Heertje family, in Antwerp. During the invasion, in May 1940, the Heertje family fled to France, taking Paul along with them. The Heertje family went on to Bordeaux, and Paul came under the care of the Belgium Red Cross in Paris. Because he had lived with a Dutch family they assumed that Paul was Dutch, so on January 27, 1941 Paul was taken to The Hague, where he was housed with two different families in The Hague.
On June 18, 1942 he went to the Jewish Orphanage in The Hague, but he caused a lot of trouble, which is why he went to live in Achisomog on March 16, 1942.
In 1957 the Dutch Red Cross established that Paul was among the patients in the Apeldoornsche Bosch who were deported on January 22, 1943, and killed in Auschwitz on January 25, 1943.
