Naatje Rebecca Reiss, born 22 August 1912 in Amsterdam, was the eldest of the nine children of Barend Reiss and Hanna Marie Root. Naatje Rebecca did not live at home anymore: on 20 December 1933 she married Mozes Nebbig, a son of Benjamin Nebbig and Mietje Canes. Mozes, born 7 June 1908 was working as a presser at the textile factory Hollandia Kattenburg. They had two children, Mia and Bernard and they lived at Krugerstraat 34 in Amsterdam-East.
On 14 November 1942 Naatje Rebecca and both her children were carried off to Westerbork. They stayed there till Mozes Nebbig more than 12 days later followed: after all Jewish workers were arrested taken to Westerbork during the raid of 11 November 1942 by the Sicherheits Dienst (SD) on Hollandia Kattenburg, Mozes Nebbig and others ended up in the Scheveningen prison and from there, he arrived in Westerbork on 26 November 1926.
On 30 November, the whole Nebbig family has been put on transport to Auschwitz, including also the 367 Jewish workers from Hollandia Kattenburg and contained in total 826 deportees. The train stopped in Kozel, located about 80 km west from Auschwitz, were 170 men were forced to leave the train. They were deployed as forced labourers in the surrounding labor camps.
Those, who remained in the train were transported onwards to Auschwitz, were most of them were immediately killed on arrival there on 3 December 1942. Among those victims were also Naatje Rebecca Nebbig-Reiss and her son Bernard; they were immediately killed on arrival there but Mia Nebbig has been killed there a few days later, on 7 December 1942.
Obviously, Mozes Nebbig did not belong to the group of 170 men, who were forcedly separated from their families in Kozel. Upon arrival in Auschwitz, he was selected to do forced labor and after a number of difficult weeks of deprivation and exhaustion in the winter of December 1942 and January/February 1943, Mozes Nebbig eventually lost his life on 28 February 1943.
