The 5th transport from #Westerbork to #Sobibor left on Tuesday, March 30. There were 1255 men, women and children aboard and no one survived the war. The train arrived in Sobibor on April 2nd, 1943. One of the victims was Bernhard Hellmann (39). He was in hiding in Ede, where he thought he was safe but was betrayed nonetheless. His son Paul, in hiding on another address, survived the war. During the trial of camp-guard John (Iwan) Demjanjuk, Paul Hellmann was one of the co-prosecutors. He spoke on behalf of his father. John Demjanjuk, was a Trawniki and Nazi camp guard at Sobibor extermination camp, Majdanek, and Flossenbürg. Photo: Photograph of Trawniki guards at Sobibor, taken in 1943. This was not seen publicly until January 2020, when it was one of numerous photos from Sobibor newly exhibited in Berlin. #Demjanjuk was "inconclusively identified" as the guard in the middle of the front row.

a transport deported from Camp Drancy in France, with 994 men, women and children. Also with destination to Sobibor (non survived). Amongst them was the Dutch artist Max van Dam (March 19, 1910 – c. September 20, 1943). Upon arrival in Sobibor Max van Dam was among the skilled workers selected while the remainder of the deportees were gassed or shot. Van Dam was set up in a studio for craftsmen where he created paintings for the camp staff. Sobibor survivor Kurt Ticho, who had befriended Van Dam in the camp, later recalled that deputy camp commander SS-Oberscharführer (Staff Sergeant) Gustav Wagner had ordered Van Dam to paint him based on the image on a postcard. Ticho testified during the Sobibor trial in Hagen that van Dam had painted portraits for the SS. Another survivor, Ursula Stern, mentioned in her post-war statements that Heinrich Himmler had posed for a portrait by Van Dam on an inspection tour of the extermination camp and its gassing operations. In the craftsmen's workshop Van Dam worked alongside Li van Staden, Moshe Goldfarb and the surviving gold smith Stanislaw Szmajzner. During much of his time in the camp Van Dam had a privileged position. When approximately 70 Dutch men assigned to slave-labour in the camp were murdered, following a betrayed escape attempt, he was exempt from these reprisal killings. SS-Oberscharführer Karl Frenzel stated in 1983 that he had kept one of the paintings by Van Dam but that his family had destroyed it, and everything else that connected Frenzel with the camps, after his 1962 arrest. He further stated that Van Dam had been killed in the revolt and that the paintings in Sobibor's staff quarters had been destroyed at the same time. Photo: Self-portrait Max van Dam at the age of 25.

![Elias (Alex) Cohen, the only known survivor from this transport, estimated in a post war testimony, that the number of deportees was probably at around 1050 people.
He recounted their arrival at Sobibor:
"The first thing we heard was all the shouting by the Moffen [Dutch derogatory term for Nazi's]… The women and children had to move on and disappeared through a gate. We could hear the carts the sick people were being thrown into, and a lot of crying and screaming. The men were still lined up in front of the fence… a German asked whether there were any doctors or nurses among us. They had to step forward.
I considered pretending to be a medic but decided against it…. Then he asked for workers up to 35 years of age. As there too few of these, he increased the age limit to 40. I joined the queue, and as we were standing there, he asked us what our trade was. I told him I was a metalworker and was made to stand apart from the rest, along with a few others.
We had to leave our luggage and get back onto the same train on which we had only just arrived. About 35 to 40 of us as well as the doctors and medics were sent to a transport to Lublin

Photo: photos: 7-year-old Sieg Maandag from Amsterdam at Bergen Belsen Concentration camp. The photo was taken shortly after the liberation of concentration camp Bergen-Belsen. The Briton George Rodger made a photo reportage of the unimaginable suffering he witnessed there — photos of piles of corpses, of prisoners so weak they barely realized they were free, and of that little boy walking past the many bodies. Rodger didn’t know who the boy was. He didn’t speak to him. He was simply struck by the image of a child seemingly indifferent as he passed the corpses.
March 15, 1944: A transport set out from #Westerbork to #Bergen-Belsen, carrying 210 Jews, including 14 sick people and 44 children.

![Cate Polk, a nurse at the Jewish hospital in Rotterdam, recalls the events prior to deportation and the journey to the death camp: We arrived in Sobibor after 5 days … We came through some kind of forest, it looked creepy. We did not know what was going to happen. Disembarking at the station wasn’t too bad for us youngsters but the elderly who weren’t fast enough were thrown from the train…. Those who could not walk were immediately taken in lorries. We, the nurses, were the first to be chosen. Then other women were chosen to do laundry and ironing. Mothers with children were told to stay with the children.
Man were also selected, boys between 22-42 years of age. Also male nurses and doctors who had been placed in the first compartment of the train with some Germans. They were not allowed contact with the others. The Germans asked us if we had any diamonds.
The train in which we sat now was the same one as before. A part had been disconnected in Sobibor. Some 4 cars returned to Lublin. We had to ‘schlepp’ [carry] our luggage and it made us laugh afterwards. Even in Westerbork some of it had already disappeared. We had to leave the rest in Sobibor. We considered it funny. We had no idea that they wanted to murder us. Thus we arrived in Lublin. All the girls stayed together. We never saw the men again. They were mainly from Rotterdam."
