Aäron Waagenaar was the widower of Sara Levenson, who died in 1917. Her brother Wolf Levenson was married to a sister of Aäron Waagenaar. One child that was still living at home survived the war, as did two grandchildren. Another child of Aäron Waagenaar’s had a mixed marriage and lived at a different address. In the large-scale raid carried out on 20 June 1943, this family just managed to escape deportation, because a German soldier let them go. The Waagenaar family is mentioned in Sonja Pos’s Daglicht (Amsterdam 1993). A number of poems dedicated to the family’s memory are included in the volume Het efficiënt vergeten (Amsterdam 1963), also by Sonja Pos.
