Abraham de Leeuw and his family

Abraham de Leeuw lived with his wife and two children at 482 Prinsengracht in Amsterdam. He was a lawyer. On 7 November 1942 Abraham de Leeuw was arrested by the detectives Jan van der Hoek and Tjeerd de Vries of the Amsterdam police Jewish Affairs Desk for entrusting goods to the non-Jew Pieter van der Berg. The goods were confiscated. Abraham de Leeuw was handed over to the SD on 12 November 1942.

Several documents remain in the archive of the Stichting Sieraden-Comité:

a statement dated 7 November 1942 from detectives De Vries and Van der Hoek concerning the arrest of Abraham de Leeuw

a statement dated 9 November 1942 from detectives De Vries and Van der Hoek listing the items of jewelry they had confiscated

ditto for the other goods they confiscated.

The inventory lists three shoeboxes containing red corals and five complete stamp albums.

The wife and children of Abraham de Leeuw survived the war.

The archive of the Stichting Sieraden-Comité also contains lists of the items stolen, a handwritten statement from 1964 and a statement of the right to inheritance.
