Salomon Rabbie, born 20 June 1900 in Amsterdam as son of Levie Rabbie and Leentje Rabbie-Rabbie, married 25 June 1924 in Amsterdam Hester Velleman from Groningen. She was born there 22 April 1903 as daughter of Benjamin Velleman and Rachel Jakoba Levie. The couple had a daughter on 20 May 1925, named Helena. All were murdered in the Shoah.
Salomon Rabbie was a merchant in haberdasheries and his wife was a representative selling corsages. After their wedding in 1924, they lived at Nieuwe Keizersgracht 21 2nd floor but moved 16 December 1925 to Sarphatiestraat 187. In 1931 they moved to the Andreas Bonnstraat 21 in in March 1935 to Boerhaaveplein 18 2nd floor, where they went living in with Hester’s mother, the widow Rachel Jakoba Velleman-Levie and het unmarried sister Klaartje Velleman.
On 28 July 1942 Salomon and his wife Hester were registered in Westerbork. At the same time also their daughter Helena. On 31 July Salomon and Hester, and probably also their daughter Helena were deported to Auschwitz, where heavy forced labor was waiting. It is not known on which date exactly they lost their lives there.
Therefore, on 15 June 1949, by order of the District Court of Amsterdam, the Municipality of Amsterdam was ordered to place additions in the Register of Death of the Civil Registry of Amsterdam, to the effect that the deaths of Salomon Rabbie and of his wife Hester Velleman in Auschwitz were after 31 July 1942 but no later than in the course of September 1942.
