  • Amsterdam, Nederland Sept. 12, 1926
  • Sobibor May 21, 1943

Asser Witteboon was a son of Eliazer Witteboon (1900-1943) and Eva van Beseme (1901-1943).[1] They were married in Amsterdam in 1925. Asser's father was a furniture maker.[2] In 1930, his younger brother Juda was born.[3]

Asser was a student at the HBS secondary school at Mauritskade 58 in Amsterdam.[4] Because Jewish students and teachers were banned from attending regular schools from 1 September 1941, Asser entered class 4B2 at the Jewish Lyceum in Amsterdam, which also included Margot Frank.[5]

All four members of the Witteboon family ended up in Westerbork on 2 October 1942. From there, they were put on transport to Sobibor extermination camp on 18 May 1943,[6] where they were murdered immediately upon arrival on 21 May 1943.[7] Of this twelfth transport to Sobibor, with 2,511 people on board, no one would survive the camp.[8]
