Birnbaum Orphanage at Bussum, Netherlands (see Holocaust Children Studies)
- KEYWORDS : <Yehoshua Birnbaum> <Bergen-Belsen>
Overview
During the war Yehoshua "Otto" Birnbaum and his wife Hennie Weiden Birnbaum not only took care of their six children but looked after dozens and dozens of orphans and unaccompanied children in the camps of Westerbork and Bergen-Belsen. At the end the family as well as "their" many adoptive children were liberated on the Troebitz Train.
After liberation, the Birbaums continued to care for some 40 orphans. They established an orphanage (the "Birnbaum Orphanage") at Bussum, Netherlands, from 1946 to 1950, until they moved to Israel.
Among the children hosted at Bussum after the war were (pictured, left to right, front row): Frieda Rosengarten (Levy), Regina Birnbaum, Ursula Breslau, Trude Stein and Hetty Konyn; (second row) Api Konjn, Haim Linder, Samuel (Sampi) Birnbaum, Albert Blumenthal, Chaim, Steienberg, Jo Kauveren (Azi Tzedek) and Marion Blumenthal Lazan; and (third row) Alfred Heymann, Reine Steine, Nechama Davids, Suzy Birnbaum and Eva Stein.
