Jan Luykenstraat 96
Haarlem
Maurits was born in 1876 on the Binnen Amstel in Amsterdam, the eighth of a total of fourteen children of Zadok Joseph Bak and Johanna Hartlooper. During his military examination, his occupation was noted as diamond splitter. However, he did not have to serve because of brotherly duties. He left the parental home in 1903 and lived in The Hague from 1913. Then and later his profession was described as sales representative, traveling salesman or merchant.
Later in life, in January 1922, he married Adriana Carolina Jacoba Laubersheimer, 21 years his junior, in Amsterdam, who then moved in with him in The Hague. There they soon moved to Ligusterstraat 89. In August of that year their first son Jacques was born, and two years later their second son Dick. We find the family from 1940 in the Haarlem address books at Jan Luykenstraat 96.
On March 19, 1942, Maurits and Adriana divorced, as often happened when mixed couples divorced for business reasons. Six months later, Maurits was arrested and on September 14 he was put on a train in Westerbork to Auschwitz and gassed immediately upon arrival.
His wife and children survived the war. Adriana lived at Jan Luykenstraat 96 until the 1970s. A number of Maurits' many brothers and sisters had died before the war. His sisters Adèle, Emma and Jeannette were also murdered in Auschwitz or Sobibor. At least one of his brothers, Meijer, survived the war.
Deportation from Westerbork on September 14, 1942.
Murdered in Auschwitz on September 17, 1942.
