Person

  • Levie van den Berg
  • Amsterdam, Nederland April 13, 1923
  • Auschwitz Sept. 30, 1942

​Levie van den Berg was the son of Joseph van den Berg (1897-1943) and Marianna Elzas (1897-1942).[1] They were married in Amsterdam on 18 August 1921. Levie had a younger sister, Vogelina (1928-1942). His father was a travelling salesman in printed matter.[2]

Because Jewish students and teachers were banned from attending regular schools as of 1 September 1941, Levi had to go to the Jewish Lyceum in Amsterdam. In the 1941-'42 school year, he was in class 4B2, the same class as Margot Frank.[3]

Levie arrived in Westerbork on 15 July 1942 and was transported to Auschwitz the next day,[4] where he was murdered on 30 September 1942.[5] His parents and younger sister were deported to Auschwitz on 12 October 1942. Marianna and Vogelina were murdered immediately after their arrival on 15 October 1942;[6] Joseph died on 28 February 1943.[7]
