Hertog Frankenhuis was a son of Heiman Frankenhuis en Sophia Meijer. 19 Juli 1905 he married in Hengelo (Overijssel) Kaatje Kanteman from Hengelo, a daughter of Simon Kanteman and Hanna Jacobson. 30 May 1906 the couple had a daughter Hanna Sophia, who presumably has survived the Holocaust. That same day 19 July 1905 also Hertog's brother Marcus married to Kaatje's sister Betje. Their first child was born 13 June 1906 but died only 8 months old.
After their wedding, Hertog and Kaatje have resided in Hengelo till 25 May 1918, the date they moved to Amsterdam to the address Pieter de Hooghstraat 88 down floor. 17 July 1933 they moved again to their last address: Deurlostraat 62 first floor.
The archives of the Jewish Council reveal that Hertog Frankenhuis was registered in Camp Westerbork 9 May 1943 and stayed in barack 57. 8 June he was deported to Sobibor and upon arrival there on 11 June 1943 immediately killed.
Due to unknown reasons, Hertog's spouse Kaatje Kanteman was deported to Sobibor that same date of 8 June 1943 as a "criminal case", with that same transport as her husband and she too was killed that 11 June 1943 immediately upon arrival there.
In the family of his parents, Heiman Frankenhuis, (a son of Koopman Meijer Frankenhuis and Henrijetta Joseph Davie) and Sophia Meijer, (a daughter of Ruben Meijer and Ziena Philips), nine children were born. Of those one child died at the age of 6 and another died only five days old. One child survived the Holocaust but the other five children were all killed in the Shoah.
Hertog’s brother Ruben and his sister Adela were unmarried. Both were killed in Sobibor. His brother Marcus and his wife were also killed in Sobibor and his brother Israël was killed in Auschwitz. Only his sister Ziena passed away in her own residence of Schoonhoven 18 April 1942 and she was interred in the Jewish Cemetery there.
