Prins Hendrikstraat 1A

Samuel Josef Wolf was born in Assen on September 13, 1891. He was married to Roosje Wolf-Leezer, born on April 30, 1895. The couple had their first child Izaak Jozef on March 1, 1922. On May 2, 1924, a daughter follows, Erna Carla. She died, aged 7, on 10 June 1931 in Amsterdam. A year later, on October 18, 1932, another daughter was born, who was given the same name as her deceased sister. The family lives in Assen at Prins Hendrikstraat 1a. During the war, the building next to them housed the Asser department of the German Sicherheitsdienst. Samuel was a potato merchant by trade. With his brother-in-law Coenraad Nathans, Samuel is director of Wolf and Ten Bosch N.V. on the Rolderstraat in Assen. The Star of David can be seen prominently on the facade of their building. However, Samuel only visited the synagogue on holidays. He was then completely dressed in black and was wearing a top hat.

In 1942, the Wolf family was evicted from their home. They had to make way for the new commander of the Westerbork transit camp, Albert Konrad Gemmeker. He lived in the house until he was able to move the house into the camp. The Wolf family was not allowed to take anything from the house. On his departure, Gemmeker took a large part of the household effects to his new home near the camp. In August 1942, Sam Wolf had to report to a labor camp. In June 1942, all Jewish men between the ages of 18 and 55 in the three northern provinces were called up to work in labor camps.

In August the first groups of Asser Jews left for labor camps near Orvelte and Rouveen. It concerned a total of about 75 people. Sam Wolf was sent to Orvelte labor camp. His son had recently been hospitalized in Assen and therefore did not have to go to a labor camp. In October 1942 Sam was sent from Orvelte to camp Westerbork. From the camp he wrote notes to his son. In it he asks for canisters of beans, meat and other food, his son receives many kisses from his mother and father writes about the atmosphere in the camp; it does not make much sense.

Samuel's son receives the message through the resistance on March 8, 1943 that the Jewish patients will be picked up from the hospital in Assen. He manages to escape with outside help and goes into hiding. He says about that: “That was something to make that decision. My father said: you should not go into hiding because if you get caught, there is nothing I can do for you. Then you go to Westerbork and to Poland. I only went up on the left side, the other people all ended up in the camp and were murdered. ”

According to the data, the Wolf family arrives at Camp Westerbork on 3 October 1942. In November 1942 he moved from barrack 63 to barrack 69 and a month later he stayed in barrack 59 of camp Westerbork. Finally, on January 18, 1944, Samuel, his wife Roosje and his daughter Erna were deported to Theresienstadt. In October 1944 transport takes place to Auschwitz, where Samuel, Roosje and Erna are murdered immediately after arrival on October 14, 1944. Only Samuel's son Isaac Joseph survives the war. Like his father, he became a potato trader after the war.
