Ernst Bob Heijmans (Heymans, Heijmans van Amstel) was a son of Herman Heijmans (1893-1944) and Betty van Esso (1896-1945).[1] Herman Heijmans called himself “Heijmans van Amstel” and was a doctor, specialising in gynaecology and women's diseases. On 21 October 1926, he obtained his doctorate in Amsterdam with the thesis The diathermy and light treatment in gynaecological inflammatory processes. Herman Heijmans lived and had a docto's practise at Jan Luykenstraat 58 in Amsterdam. He also operated at 18 Pretoriusstraat and 123 Noorder Amstellaan.[2] Herman and Betty had married in Arnhem in 1924, and had moved to Amsterdam the same year. Here their two children were born: Ernst Bob (1926) and Theodoor (1930).[3]

Ernst Heijmans was a student at the Amsterdam Lyceum,[4] but because Jewish students and teachers were banned from attending regular schools from 1 September 1941, Ernst had to go to the Jewish Lyceum.[5] He entered class 4B2, which also included Margot Frank.[6]

Ernst's father received a Sperre for his position as a doctor: a temporary exemption from deportation. The entire Heijmans family ended up in Westerbork on 18 November 1942.[7] There they remained until they were deported on the seventh and last transport from Westerbork to Theresienstadt on 4 September 1944. There were 2074 people on board the train.[8] Ernst was put on a transport to Auschwitz from Theresienstadt on 29 September 1944.[7] He was probably murdered immediately after his arrival, around 30 September.[9] His parents and brother followed on 28 October 1944.[10] His father Herman and brother Theodoor were murdered after their arrival in Auschwitz, around 29 October. His mother Betty died in March 1945 in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.[9]
