The Topor family in the 1930s: brothers Szmul Herszek, Isidor, Moszekand Srul, the oldest, with their parents Chana Szerman and Abraham Topor
The Sipo-SD summoned the father, 41, the mother, 48, Szmul Herszek, 17, and even the youngest, Isidor, 12, to the Dossin Sammellager on the 17th of August. These Jews from Antwerp answered the summons the day after the great night raid of 15 August, which had devastated Lange Kievitstraat, where they had lived. Moszek, 20 years, joined them of his own free will in the Dossin three days later. Only Srul Topor, 22, escaped deportation. Of the five Topors deported on Transport 5, only Szmul and Moszek were selected for work and registered. By 1945, only Szmul, registration number 62.021, better known as Sam Topor, had survived.
