Person

  • Simon Zilverberg
  • Born on: July 31, 1904
  • Born in: Amsterdam, Nederland
  • Died in: Mishawaka, Indiana, USA

Simon Zilverberg was born 31 July 1904 in Amsterdam. He was a company director of a vinegar factory and an office clerk for medicinal products.[1] He married C.M. Nieuwenburg on 30 March 1932 in Amsterdam. She was the daughter of Miep Gies' step-father.[2]  Due to his marriage to Nieuwenburg, the Germans considered Zilverberg an intermarried Jew. This gave him some protection during the occupation. Nothing is known about the search of his home; at the time, his parents-in-law, the Nieuwenburg-Moene couple, were living there. It is also not known if the home's contents were itemised by the Hausraterfassung.

Simon Zilverberg died in February 1980 in Mishawaka, St. Joseph County, in the U.S. state of Indiana.
