Jeannette Morpurgo, born on 10 November 1907, and her sister Rosa Morpurgo, born on 10 July 1913, were unmarried and lived with their parents Eliazer Morpurgo and Anna Mok at the Oosterpark 10 1st floor in Amsterdam. Jeannette worked as a tailor and needlewoman and Rosa was a machine stitcher. Both were registered as seamstresses by the Jewish Council in 1941.
From their parental home, Jeannette and Rosa were sent to Vught concentration camp in the night of 8/9 April 1943, where they stayed for more than three months. Notes from the Jewish Council registration card of their father Eliazer Morpurgo indicated that he has sent fl.10, - by postal order from Camp Westerbork, to one of his daughters in Vught. Apparently there has been signed for receipt but the money has never been received. There was no response to a request from their father to return the money to Westerbork. He was informed that there could be no question of a refund. Only the deposit receipt has been sent to him.
On 19 July 1943, Jeannette and Rosa Morpurgo were transported from Vught to Westerbork, where they ended up for a few days in barrack 57. On 20 July they were both deported to Sobibor, where they were immediately killed on arrival there on 23 July 1943.
