Mechelen VI

Rebecca Elsas-Swaap was deported on 29 Aug 1942 on Mechelen transport VI. She passed selection after her arrival in Auschwitz, however, she perished less than a month later on 24 Sep 1942.

Rebecca and Louis were newlyweds, having married on 17 Mar 1942 in Berchem, less than six months prior to her deportation. Louis was deported a few weeks after Rebecca, on Mechelen Deportation XIII, which departed on 10 Oct 1942. Louis was likely forced off the train at Cosel and perished at one of the various smaller labor camps in Silesia sometime in late 1942 or 1943.
