Valeriusstraat 68

On Tuesday, June 22, 1943, Rebecca Rosenberg from Amsterdam hands over a pram with her two sons Salomon and Abraham to a resistance woman. Rebecca will never see her children again. On July 4, she and her husband Max are arrested. In the same month, both parents are murdered in the Sobibor extermination camp.

The resistance organization takes Salomon (1) and Abraham (3 months) to two addresses in Baarlo, where the boys will also stay after the liberation. Not knowing that they are Jewish and that they were born in Amsterdam. They don't get to hear the whole story until around the age of 10. 75 years after the liberation, both brothers tell their incredible life stories in the L1 documentary Jewish boys.

Salomon grew up in Baarlo as Wim Berben, Abraham's name was Paul Gielen. L1 documentary maker Frank Ruber returns with both brothers to their parental home in Amsterdam. Here Max and Rebecca Rosenberg made the courageous decision to give up their children. Just before their own deportation, they announced their decision in a postcard to a cousin. Because there was no time left to mail that postcard, the Rosenbergs decided to throw the card in the neighbor's yard.

Wim still lives in Baarlo, now with his Amsterdam surname again. He has been an enthusiastic member of the militia since his youth and won the OLS in 1999 with the six of Sint Antonius and Sint Petrus.
Paul chose a completely different life, he returned to the Jewish faith, lived in Israel for years, went to work in the Jewish library in Amsterdam and is now pastor in a synagogue as Abraham Rosenberg.
