Moses Goldsteen (known as Moos) was the son of Israël Goldsteen and Naatje Zeehandelaar. He was unmarried and had no children. Moos Goldsteen was a painter by profession, as well as a politician and town council member for the SDAP. He left the council in 1932, but returned in 1935 as an independent candidate. In 1939 a second council member even joined his political grouping, but in late 1940 he was removed from the council. In August 1942, he was summoned to Orvelte labour camp. Neighbours offered him a hiding place, but he refused, because he believed the war was almost over anyway. In early October, he was sent from Orvelte to Westerbork.
