Emmalaan 30

Siegfried has lived at Reinwardtstraat 99hs in Amsterdam since birth. When Siegfried had just turned 9 years old, he moved on 12 May 1921 with his father Philippus Lazarus de Vries, who was then a merchant in wall decoration, his mother Mietje Beffie and his sisters Johanna and Elisabettha, to Schoterweg 7 in Haarlem.

His older brother Lazarus, who is a frame maker, has already left home. In August 1930, Siegfried moves with his parents and sister Elisabettha to 6 Burgemeester Boreelstraat in Haarlem.

On December 12, 1934, Siegfried married Charlotte van Praag. This marriage was solemnized in Haarlem. Siegfried and Lottie moved to Duvenvoordestraat 6 in Haarlem.

From here they move on October 14, 1935 to Emmalaan 30 in Haarlem. The rental house they will then move into was completed a year earlier. They may be the first tenants of the house. Two and a half months later, their son Jopie was born on December 28, 1935.

Siegfried works as a warehouse clerk and frame maker during the war years. His father was then head of the Frame Factory at Kruisstraat 49, later known to Haarlemmers as Foto Satina, where the word “FRAMING FACTORY” could still be read vaguely on the facade for a long time. Siegfried's cousin Leo Julius lives at that address with his wife Lea and son Robert and works there as a shopkeeper.

When on August 23, 1942, the call comes for Haarlem Jews to report, it turns out that the family is no longer present. Whether they only went into hiding after the call, or whether they had already left by then is unknown.

It is not known where Siegfried and Lottie subsequently stay. In any case, it must have been around Rotterdam. They were arrested on April 16, 1943 and registered in the Rotterdam Police Prison on the Haagse Veer. From there they are transferred to Westerbork where he is placed in penalty box 67, the usual barrack for people in hiding.

On May 18, 1943, they were deported together in a transport of 2,511 persons to Sobibor, where they were murdered immediately upon arrival on May 21, 1943.
