Leopold Englander and Sarolta Rosenwasser

Jews of Romanian origin who had sought refuge in Austria in 1939, Leopold Englander was 73, and Sarolta Rosenwasser, 66. They were arrested in Wilrijk, a suburb of Antwerp, on the second day of the ration stamps trap, even though Wilrijk lay outside the trap’s perimeter. They were interned in the Dossin Barracks on 24 September 1942, and put on Transport 11 on 26 September. 80% of the deportees on this transport were executed upon arrival, and the elderly had no hope of surviving.
