Biography

About Esther Voorzanger.

Esther Voorzanger, born in 1924 in Antwerp, was a daughter of Isaac Voorzanger and Jansje Park. She was one of the nine children in this family, of whom presumably two brothers and two sisters might have survived the war. The Voorzanger family lived sometimes in Belgium and sometimes in Holland but resided at Bikschotelaan 159 at Berchem (province of Antwerp) as their last known address. Her brothers Emanuel and Abraham and sisters Selina and Elisabeth, as also her parents have been killed in the Shoah.

Esther Voorzanger has been deported on 8 September 1942 with Convoy VIII from Mechelen to Auschwitz, which has arrived there on 10 September 1942 and where she was killed on 11 September 1942.

Archive of the Municipality of Berchem, certificate of death 1953/46 made out 22 September 1953 and the Memorial of the Deportation of the Belgian Jews.
