The youngest of the four sons of Sander Sanders and Esther Morpurgo was Aron Sanders, who was born on 19 June 1913 in Amsterdam. After 6 years of primary school, Aron attended a 3-year trade school and started his working life as a warehouse clerk at a wholesaler in sponges and chamois leather. At the same time, he took courses in bookkeeping and shorthand in Dutch and English at the commercial evening school.
On 1 March 1932, Aron was exempted from the National Militia due to brotherly service. He then lived with his parents in the house at Holendrechtstraat 15 ground floor, where his father died a few months later that year. His mother had already passed in 1918, when Aron was only 5 years old.
On 23 October 1940, Aron married in Amsterdam the 23-year-old Celine Schuitevoeder, a daughter of Louis Schuitevoeder and Hanna Jacobs, who was born there on 20 August 1917. Celine worked as a milliner and as a craftswoman.
After the marriage had been concluded, Aron moved from his “penultimate” address at Vechtstraat 22 III in Amsterdam's River District to Jan Lievenstraat 42 II in Amsterdam Old-South and Celine then moved in with her with her newly-wed Aron. On 19 September 1941 they were pleased with the birth of a daughter, Elsje Sanders.
Aron Sanders' family, like all Jews in the Netherlands, was also compulsorily registered with the Jewish Council from the beginning of 1941. Later notes on Aron Sanders' registration card show that he was carried off to Westerbork on 6 March 1943 and ended up in barrack 62.
The registration cards of Celine Sanders-Schuitevoeder and her baby-daughter Elsje do not contain any dates, that show when they were sent to Westerbork. However, a note was made on Elsje's card which shows that the then 1 ½ year old Elsje was issued with a BNH train ticket (Biljet Naar Hooghalen: 41/BNH/ 6162).
Between 24 February 1943 and 8 March 1943, no transports appear to have left Amsterdam for Westerbork. I.e. that the arrival on 6 March 1943 of Aron Sanders and Celine Sanders-Schuitevoeder most likely must also have taken place with such an additionally issued BNH train ticket, although this is not explicitly noted on their registration cards from the Jewish Council.
The family of Aron Sanders was deported to Sobibor on 10 March 1943, in a transport of more than 1100 victims. This transport was carried out for the last time with passenger wagons; afterwards cattle wagons were used.
Upon arrival in Sobibor, the 29-year-old Aron Sanders, his 25-year-old wife Celine Sanders-Schuitevoeder and their 1½-year-old daughter Elsje were murdered immediately in the gas chambers of Sobibor upon arrival on 13 March 1943.
