Vrouwtje Lievendag was a daughter of Salomon Lievendag and Rozetta Sleisner. She was born in 1873 in Borne and was unmarried.
She was born into a family with in total eight children. Her siblings were Dina, (1865), Meier (1867), Joseph (1869), Rachel (1871), David (1873), Eva (1877), and Willem (1879). Dina, Meier, Rachel and Willem have died already before the war, however Joseph, Eva, David and Vrouwtje self were killed in the Shoah.
At the time of the obligatory registration of all Jews in The Netherlands, early 1941, Vrouwtje Lievendag lived in Rotterdam. She was registered by the Jewish Council of Rotterdam at Frank van Borselenstraat 20. Also Selma Lievendag and David Salomon Lievendag lived there at that same address, children of her brother Willem Lievendag and Mietje van Gelder.
Vrouwtje’s inmate Selma Lievendag has been deported at the same time as her uncle and aunt Salomon Siegfried Lievendag and Rosetha Lievendag-Lievendag, who lived at Frank van Borselenstraat 18a. Selma and her uncle and aunt were transferred to Westerbork 31 July 1942, put on transport 3 August and eventually killed too in Birkenau 1 September 1942.
Since de nazi’s started the deportations in Rotterdam 30 July 1942, Selma’s brother David Salomon did not wait to be called for “provision of additional work in Germany under police supervision”. He hasn’t been deported and survived the Shoah. According notes on his registration card fof the Jewish Council, it appeared that he has emerged in Belgium 11 June 1945.
Vrouwtje Lievendag however, was deported to Westerbork 22 October 1942 and put on transport to Auschwitz the next day, 23 October. On arrival there 26 October 1942, she was immediately killed.
