Gasthuisstraat 5

Nico Wolf was born on November 24, 1919 in Veghel, the son of Mijer 'Max' Wolf, merchant, and Marianne van den Bergh. He was a student of Economics at Tilburg University and lived in Veghel at Gasthuisstraat 5. In September 1942 he was deported from Westerbork and presumably died at the end of March 1944 somewhere in Central Europe. It was not until 1952 that his date of death was officially established as March 31, 1944.

Nico Nathan Wolf (called 'Nico' for short) was born on 24 June 1915 in Doetinchem, the oldest son of Mozes Wolf and Jansje Vrieslander. In the birth register of the Civil Registry he is officially registered as 'Wolff' with a double 'f', but this was most likely a typing error.

Nico was born on June 24, 1915 in Doetinchem. His father Mozes Wolf was originally from Veghel and was a cattle trader. His mother was from Den Helder. The Wolf-Vrieslanders had four children: Nico Nathan (1915), Philip (1916), Rozette (1917) and Roza (1919). The family later moved to 27 Ridderstraat in Oss.

Nico became a traveling salesman. With his height of 1.63 meters he was known as 'Little Nico'. His Veghel cousin and namesake Nico was called 'Big Nico'. In 1939 Nico moves in with his uncle Max and aunt Marianne at 5 Gasthuisstraat in Veghel. At the end of 1939 his sister Roza also comes to live with them.

Like his cousin, Nico was mobilized as a soldier and after the capitulation he returns to Veghel. On August 18, 1942, his sister Roza married Max de Leeuw from Winterswijk. Nico probably marries his sister Sera de Leeuw around this period.

On December 22, 1941, nephew Grote Nico was arrested by the Sicherheitspolizei and taken to Den Bosch. However, it turned out that they had to have Nico Nathan Wolf. Cousin Nico was allowed to return home, but Nico Nathan was held there for six weeks and was then released. It is still unclear why he was arrested.

On 28 August 1942 Nico had to report in Westerbork. He complied and a few days later he was deported to Auschwitz. Brother Philip was also part of this transport. The train stopped en route in Cosel (Poland). About 200 boys and men between the ages of 15 and 50 had to leave the train and then be put to work as forced laborers in one of the satellite camps of Auschwitz. Most likely, Nico and Philip belonged to this group.

Nico is believed to have died around March 31, 1944 and Philip around February 10, 1945, both of illness, exhaustion or deprivation.
