About Samuel Swaab

Samuel Swaab was a son of 510856. He lived with his stepfather. He married on 28 January 1942 in Amsterdam. He was part of transport XX from Malines on 19/20 April 1943 to Auschwitz. During an attempt of the resistance to stop this train many prisoners managed to escape. 26 people were shot dead or were deadly wounded. Presumably Samuel Swaab belonged to this last category.

Samuel Swaab

Sam Swaab was violist. Bij een vluchtpoging uit de trein naar Auschwitz, werd hij doodgeschoten. Zijn vrouw Adela liep daarbij een schotwond in haar been op, maar overleefde de sprong. Ze liep de rest van haar leven mank.
