German Jews living in the Netherlands lost their citizenship and became stateless following a Nazi decree issued on 25 November 1941. This happened to Moritz Cohen and his wife and child. Moritz Cohen had a shop known as the Marktwinkel in Aalten. Moritz Cohen and his child were in hiding in Lichtenvoorde, where they were betrayed and caught.
