Klaartje Bosboom was a daughter of Mozes Salomon Bosboom (a son of Salomon Mozes Bosboom and Annaatje Barend Kroese) and Vogel van der Glas (a daughter of Joel Jesaijas van der Glas and Schoontje Jochem Hes). Klaartje’s parents were married in Amsterdam 16 August 1865.
Klaartje was born into a family with seven children of whom she self, Jesaia, Sientje and Heintje were killed in the Shoah. Her brother Salomon died in 1923 and her brother Joel passed away in 1939. Presumably her brother Emanuel survived the war.
9 January 1901 Klaartje married in Amsterdam Joseph Snijders, a son of Isaac Snijders and Rachel Boerske. The couple had three children, namely Vogelina, Rachel and Celina. Their daughters Vogelina and Rachel were killed in the Shoah, together with their families, just as Klaartje and Joseph self. Only Celina and her husband Meijer Raphael presumably have survived the war.
Klaartje Bosboom and her husband Joseph Snijders were registered in Camp Westerbork on 29 September 1942 and deported to Auschwitz on 2 October. Upon arrival there on 5 October 1942 both were immediately killed.
