Large photograph of a Jewish woman with yellow badge - Netherlands, 1943

The woman photographed is apparently Eva Granaada, she was identified by a member of her family. According to the family member's comment about her: "A Jewish nurse has voluntarily reported at the sports complex on Olympiaplein in Amsterdam. Her elderly patients had been arrested earlier that day. She chose to stay with them and was deported to Westerbork together with her patients. The woman did not survive the war. Olympiaplein, 20 June 1943." The information about her appears In the "witness page" at the Yad Vashem Museum (page number 2061112).

This photo was taken by the Dutch photographer Herman Heukels on June 20, 1943 (not signed). On that day, Jewish families were gathered, marked with a yellow badge and with their belongings, to be registered with the representatives of the Nazi government in preparation for their deportation to the East. Despite the scorching sun, the people arrived dressed in winter coats, as no one knew where they would be taken and for how long. The Dutch photographer Herman Haukles moved through the crowd and photographed individual Jews and families. The photos he took were the last documentation of many of the 5,500 Jews who were sent that day from Amsterdam to the Westerbork transit camp and from there to the concentration camps in the east.
26x20 cm. Two light tears on the photos left side. Condition Good.
