biographical history: Salomon Fischman was born on 1st July 1912 in Synowodzko Wyzne, Poland (today Verkhneye Sinevidnoye, Ukraine), as the son of Hersch Fischman and Rachel Wasserbach. In December 1928, when he was only 16 years old, Salomon travelled from Poland to Antwerp, where his older brother Joseph worked as a barber. Salomon learned the trade and, in the 1930s, opened his own salon. On 29 December 1937 Salomon married Elli Hirsch who had been born on 15 February 1914 in Hulchrath, Germany. Elli had immigrated to Belgium in 1934 to join her sister Jenni Hirsch in Antwerp. In 1935 the sisters were joined by their widowed mother Julia Schnook who would pass away on 4 September 1939. A third sister, Cilli Hirsch, lived in the Netherlands. After their marriage Salomon and Elli made house at Van Nevelestraat 22 in Deurne. Their son Emiel was born in Antwerp on 18 October 1938. The Fischman-Hirsch family still lived at Van Nevelestraat when Nazi-Germany invaded Belgium on 10 May 1940. They fled to Bordeaux, France, but returned by the end of the year. Salomon, Elli and Emiel were subsequently forced to obey the anti-Jewish decrees. Salomon registered his family in the municipal Jewish register in December 1940. In Summer 1941 he and Elli had their ID cards stamped with the words “Jood-Juif” and in Spring 1942 they became members of the Association of Jews in Belgium. On 14 July 1942 Salomon was sent to a work camp near Calais where he had to perform forced labour on the Atlantic Wall for Organisation Todt. While Salomon was detained there his wife Elli and their son Emiel were arrested at home during the second anti-Jewish raid in Antwerp (28 on 29 August 1942). They were registered at the Dossin barracks on 29 August 1942 and were deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau via transport VII on 1st September 1942. Both were murdered. On 10 September 1942 Salomon Fischman escaped the labour camp in Pas-de-Calais. He returned to Antwerp only to learn his wife and son had been arrested and deported. …
