Then there was the 25-year-old son of Salomon Vogel and Sara Roodveldt, Joseph Vogel, who was a metalworker by trade. Joseph was born in Amsterdam on 13 December 1916 and also lived with his parents, brothers and sisters in the Rapenburgerstraat 16 1st floor and from July 1941 at Muiderstraat 11 2nd floor in Amsterdam. He was unmarried.
Like his brothers, Joseph was also called up for a transport to Auschwitz on 24 July 1942, but his departure to Westerbork was set back several times by the Jewish Council. He finally had to arrive in Westerbork on 4 August, for which purpose he was issued a new ticket to Hooghalen (B.N.H.). After arriving in Westerbork, Joseph stayed in the camp for a few more days and on 7 August 1942 he was deported to Auschwitz with 986 other deportees. Upon arrival there, Joseph was put to work, but it is unknown where he ended up.
The Memorial & Museum Auschwitz-Birkenau/Auschwitz Prisoners website revealed that Joseph was given prisoner number 57669 in Auschwitz, but that, like his brother Isaac, he eventually ended up in the prisoner hospital in Block 20, where prisoners with contagious diseases, such as typhus, starvation, diarrhea, tuberculosis, meningitis, erysipelas or they suffered from general weakness. Many of them were killed after numerous selections by a lethal phenol injection. It is not improbable that Joseph Vogel was also murdered in this manner on 15 November 1942 in a room on the ground floor of Block 20.
