Jacob Emanuel was a son of Eduard Emanuel and Maria van Emrik. He married, probably in Antwerp in the early years of 1940, to Rosette Dresden, a daughter of Gabriel Dresden and Margaretha van der Bokke.
Jacob Emanual was deported from Mechelen to Auschwitz with convoy 17 as nr. 181, which departed on 31 October 1942 and arrived in Auschwitz on 3 November 1942. Also his father-in-law Gabriel Dresden was with him in this transport. Jacob Emanual might have been killed immediately there upon arrival.
His wife Rosette Dresden was deported already with convoy 6 which arrived in Auschwitz on 29 August 1942.
