Rijksstraatweg 9

Eli (Emiel) Rosenberg came from Enschede. He married Roosje (Ro) Valk in 1918 in Zaandam. After a short time at Tetterodestraat 102 in Haarlem, where son Adolf was born in 1919, the family lived for some time at Jericholaan 76b in Rotterdam. Daughter Emilie Helena was born in that city. From April 1925, Eli and Roosje lived in Haarlem again, at Haitsma Mulierstraat 21. At least, that was the municipality of Schoten at the time, but became part of Haarlem from 1927 onwards.

In the cold month of February 1929, the family moved a few streets further to Rijksstraatweg 9. In the meantime, Eli was manager of the curtain factory Wild & Hardebeck at Boerhaaveplein 4 in Amsterdam. That factory existed until 1978, but the name is still on the building that was built in 1921 according to a design by the Dordrecht architect Carel Tenenti.

Eli and Roosje were taken by train from the Westergracht to Westerbork on August 26, 1942 and then two days later to Auschwitz, where they were murdered on August 31 together with 108 other Haarlem Jews. We do not know whether they reported themselves at the Westergracht in response to the occupier's call or were arrested during the raid on the night of August 25 to 26. One might suspect the first from the fact that the children were not taken away (immediately).

At the beginning of the war, Eli, an offspring from his father's third marriage, had one much older sister, Philippina, who was married to Salomon Goedhart. Salomon and Philippina also fell victim to Nazi terror in Sobibor on May 14, 1943.

Deportation from Westerbork on August 28, 1942.

Murdered in Auschwitz on August 31, 1942.
