Plein Eendragt 27a

Mozes Brücker was the owner of a shop in Hoogstraat, number 130. He was registered as a Jew and had to close his business. On April 27, 1942, he wrote to Reich Commissioner Seyss-Inquart that he was born in Putna, Romania on February 15, 1892, to non-Jewish parents. Moses Brücker further wrote that at the time he was under the assumption that the duty to report concerned him and that he was therefore considered Jewish. Furthermore, he wrote since 1914 living in the Netherlands and being married to a Jewish woman.
Despite the Romanian Consul General's reply confirming that it was likely that Moses Brücker was non-Jewish, he left Westerbork for Germany in December 1942. He was subsequently released in Germany and returned to Amsterdam in 1943. Mozes Brücker was thus accepted as an Aryan and mixed-married.
In July 1943, Mozes Brücker's wife was arrested and taken to Westerbork. Because she was mixed-married, she was entitled to an exemption from deportation. Mozes Brücker tried unsuccessfully to get his wife from Westerbork. He was probably desperate to go to Westerbork himself to accompany his wife.

Mozes Brücker successfully persuaded the German authorities that he was non-Jewish. His wife, Rosetta-Eijl, and he were therefore exempt from deportation for the time being. At some point they went into hiding with other family members in Bloemendaal.
After the Pentecost weekend, the family was betrayed and taken to the Hollandsche Schouwburg in Amsterdam. On the way, Moses Brücker jumped out of the truck with one of his children. That was at the Hobbemakade near the music store Sacksioni. After this they went into hiding again until Moses was caught in a check at the station in 1944. He was sent from Westerbork together with his wife. Rosette Brücker-Eijl was killed immediately after arrival in Auschwitz. Mozes Brücker died in March 1945.
