Nijverheidstraat 16

Auguste Seligmann (born in 1897 in Emden) came to Borne in 1925 to marry Joseph de Leeuw, who had a butcher shop on the Grotestraat.

Before the war breaks out, she tries to bring several family members to the Netherlands. The petition states that "the applicant runs a butcher's shop with her husband, and it seems that this case results in a substantial civilian life." However, she also has to accept some rejections. For example, she was unable to get an aunt to come over, although the children she lived with were sent to Poland by order of the German Government, so she was left alone. She does manage to bring two sisters with their families over from Germany. Her sister Martha Sara Auerbacher-Seligmann (1903) first came alone in March 1939 with her son Alfred Herbert Karel (1938). They are going to live with the de Leeuw family. In June 1940 Martha's husband Jacob (1880) is also allowed to come to the Netherlands and they live in one of the Spaniard houses on the Nijverheidsstraat. Later sister Ella Hahn also comes to live with two daughters, Ella's husband and son are unable to obtain a visa; her husband was living illegally in Belgium.

They all receive a residence permit from June 26, 1942 to January 1, 1943 and then an extension for six months. When in April all Jews who have not yet been picked up have to leave for the camp in Vught, Auguste, who is in hiding, sees an opportunity to say goodbye to her two sisters.

The Auerbacher family is deported to Sobibor via Vught and Westerbork and gassed there immediately upon arrival, their son Alfred is then five years old.
