The Haber-Löw family

Sender Haber, Frimet Löw and their daughter, Sonja, were Polish Jews who emigrated from Switzerland in 1932. Their son, Salo, was born in Antwerp. During the occupation, they lived in the Antwerp borough of Berchem where Sender worked as a shopkeeper. The street where they lived, Cruyslei, was far from the Jewish quarter and no arrests were made there during the raids of summer 1942. Arrested and interned at the Dossin Barracks on 20 February 1943, Sender, 53 years old, Frimet,48, and Sonja, 17, were deported on Transport 20 on 19 April 1943. They disappeared forever after Transport 20 arrived at Auschwitz-Birkenau on 22 April. When the war ended Salo Haber found he had no family left at all. He was just 12 years old.
