Jansje de Lieme was a daughter of Meijer de Lieme and Anna Rachel Italie. She married Aron Worms, known as Arie, on 6 May 1920 in Zaandam, a son of Abraham Worms and Anna Bouwman. The couple had a daughter Anna Rachel, born in Antwerp in 1925; She has been killed in Sobibor, 18 years old. 

It is uncertain if and when Jansje de Lieme excactly was in camp Westerbork or camp Vught. On her registration card of the Jewish Council a note has been made that she “presumably per 3 October 1942 is in Camp Vught”, based on a list of “sent luggage of 10 May 1943”. Jansje’s luggage was found 14 May 1943 in barak 349 in camp Vught.

Also daughter Anna Rachel stayed acoording to notes on her registration card from the archive of the Jewish Council initially in camp Vught since 3 October 1942 and has been brought into camp Westerbork on 2 July 1943. From there she has been deported to Sobibor on 6 July where she was killed upon arrival there on 9 July 1943.

Jansje Worms-de Lieme eventually has been deported on 13 July 1943 to Sobibor too whers she was killed 16 July 1943 upon arrival there.

Her husband Aron Worms was brought into camp Westerbork too in the first days of October 1942 but already deported to Auschwitz on 19 October. He lost his life there on 28 February 1943. On his registration card from the archive of the Jewish Council a note has been made that a “letter from Birkenau was received on 14 December 1942, addressed to Worms-de Lieme at Andreas Bonnstraat 20 in Amsterdam”. It is not clear whether Aron’s wife Jansje has ever received this letter from her husband.
