United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Collection, Gift of Mevrouw M. Moulijn
Mevrouw Marijke Moulijn donated this collection to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum on Nov. 1, 2006. Eleazer Eijl was her maternal grandfather. The tile belonged to Mrs. Moulijn's father; as he was not a Holocaust survivor, the original provenance of the tile is unknown.
Scope and Content
Consists of one book containing copies of photographs, documents, and correspondence related to the life and Holocaust experiences of Eleazer Eijl, originally of Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Eijl and his wife, who was not Jewish, moved to the Hague before the war. In 1942, Eijl was arrested and sent to Westerbork, and from there, was deported at the end of January, 1943, to Auschwitz-Birkenau, where he perished. The book includes copies of Eijl's letters from Westerbork, including one in which he states that he will be deported the next day.
