Salomon Isidore Kannewasser was born in 1911 as son from the first marriage of his father Abraham Salomon Kannewasser and Maria van Esso. On 26 February 1936 he married the non-Jewish Johanna Christina Fontein from Zutphen but the couple had no children. She survived the war.
Salomon Isidore was a baker and as such he was exempted from deportation since February 1943 “because of function” by the Jewish Council “bis auf weiteres”(until further notice); he had this job at the bread supply department in the bakery of his stepfather Frederik van der Hak in the Rapenburgerstraat in Amsterdam.
In July 1943 he was arrested in Amsterdam and was sent to concentration camp Vught. From there, he was put on transport to Auschwitz on 15 November 1943 where he eventually lost his life on 31 January 1944.
