Samson family collection
Amelia Samson (1875-1945) lived in Amsterdam along with her daughter Marie, son-in-law Barand, and grandchildren Clara and Maurice. During the German occupation, the family hid with friends, while Barand participated in the underground resistance. Eventually discovered, the family was transported to Westerbork transit camp. Barand was transported to another camp and was killed. From September 1943 to April 1944, the family was interned at Westerbork before being sent to Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. Amelia died while at Bergen-Belson in March of 1945. Marie and her children were then transported on the infamous “last transport” train and ended up in Tröbitz, Germany, where they were liberated by the Soviet army in April of 1945. Emilia Fluck, daughter of Amelia and sister of Marie, lived in Cheltenham, England and kept in communication with both through the means of letters sent by the Red Cross up until 1944.
