Transport from Westerbork, Camp, The Netherlands to Ravensbrück, Camp, Germany on 05/02/1944

The transport that set out from Westerbork to Ravensbrück on February 5, 1944, evidently comprised 30 children and 33 women who held Hungarian citizenship; their male kin—husbands and parents—had been deported four days earlier from Westerbork to Buchenwald. One of the women deportees, Sarah Kallus Arijowicz, survived and testified that she and her husband, Samuel, had been on the Weinreb list—a fictitious list composed by Friedrich Weinreb that protected those appearing on it from deportation for a short while. Another survivor, Neomi Friedman née Moskovic, who was seven years old when deported, writes in her memoirs that she had been deported on a transport comprised of passenger cars with her mother Frieda, her sixteen-month-old sister Chaya, and her eleven-year-old brother Uriel. A year later, Uriel was separated from the rest of his family. Both Uriel and his father, the cantor Ben-Zion Moskovic, reunited with the rest of the family after the war. Neomi, her sister, and her mother, remained in Ravensbrück until February 1945 and were then transferred to Bergen-Belsen.
