biographical history: Eugeen Reichman was born in Satu Mare, Romania, on 6 July 1901, as the eldest child of Ludovic Reichman (born on 22 April 1876 in Halmeu, Romana) and Fanny alias Fani Roth (born on 18 November 1879 in Satu Mare). Eugeen had five younger siblings: Myriam alias Marie born on 18 November 1902, Joseph born on 3 July 1904, Alexander born on 15 March 1907, Benjamin alias Benoit born on 29 September 1908 and Mor alias Maurice born on 1st August 1910. Eugeen became a diamond cutter and migrated to Belgium in 1923. Here, he married Feige Toba alias Fanny Lipschitz who was born in Skierniewice, Poland, on 7 June 1910 as the daughter of Leibus Joel Lipchitz (born in 1883 in Skierniewice, Poland) and Haia Sipa Lebenthal (born on 14 May 1883 in Skierniewice, Poland). Feige also came from a large family and had six siblings: Jacob Mozes born on 8 November 1908, Anna Rosa born on 12 May 1912, Abraham Emmanuel born on 11 March 1914, Lazar born on 31 July 1916, Samuel born on 19 August 1918 and Israel Iszaak born on 2 November 1922. On 10 May 1940 Nazi-Germany invaded Belgium. Eugeen’s brother Alexander Reichman fled to France with his wife Rosa Schiff and their son Oscar. They lived in hiding in the French cities Béziers, La Canourgue, Grenoble (where they assumed the false identities of Alfons Ryckmans and Rozette Abiad) and Moirans. Alexander and his family survived the war in France and returned to Belgium in June 1945. Meanwhile in Belgium Eugeen Reichman and his family obeyed the anti-Jewish decrees installed by the German authorities. In December 1940 he registered in the municipal Jewish register of Antwerp. Apart from himself and his wife Feige, his form also mentions their three daughters, who were all born in Antwerp: Esther Regina on 13 May 1931, Paula on 19 February 1936 and Celine on 9 June 1937. At the time of registration the family lived at Lange Kievitstraat 105 where they still resided when they became members of the Association of Jews in Belgium in April 1942. B…
