| Surname, Name The spelling of names follows “Spis imion żydowskich” [The list of Jewish first names] (Warszawa 1928), as it was the only means to avoid the doubling of people on the list. Exception was made for famous individuals whose names are widely known in another form than that proposed in “Spis”.

Abraham Berthold (1923–1944)
Born on 9 March 1923 in the German village of Brandoberndorf, to an orthodox family of the merchant Ferdinand Abraham and Emmy née Frank. He had four siblings: two brothers – Bertram and Siegbert, and two sisters – Edith Paula and Beate.
During the war he lived with his family at 5 Jekerstraat in Amsterdam.
In June 1943, the Ambraham family was arrested and sent to the Westerbork transit camp. That is most likely where they were separated. On 20 July 1943, his parents and siblings were deported to the Theresienstadt concentration camp, and later to the extermination camp in Sobibór, where they died on 23 July 1943.
Berthold was deported to Theresienstadt on 4 September 1944. Shortly afterwards, he was transported to the Auschwitz extermination camp, where he died on 7 October 1944.
