Holocaust: Sachsenhausen (SPINDEL)

Out of 29 Jews born in Lubaczow who are listed as Holocaust victims in the Gedenkbuch published by the German Bundesarchiv, four  died in Germany, all of them in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp outside Berlin.

Joseph Josef SPINDEL was born in 1880 in Lubaczow.
He lived in Berlin before the war.

On Sept 13th 1939 he was imprisoned in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp.
On Dec 19th 1939 , three months later, he died there.
He was nearly 59 years old.


How the other persons named SPINDEL from Lubaczow connect to Joseph Josef SPINDEL, I do not know, but here is the information I have:

In the Yizkor list for Lubaczow  I once transcribed there were a few SPINDEL:
Zalman SPINDEL.
Chana SPINDEL
Peretz SPINDEL
Mosze SPINDEL
Lea SPINDEL

If I look at Pages of Testimony, there is one person named Arie SPINDEL born 1878, married, merchant, lived in Lubaczow. Page was submitted by a relative.

Other Pages  commemorate  the couple  Moshe Mozes ( born 1900)  and Malka SPINDEL  (born 1905) and their five children:
Gershon SPINDEL
Chaja SPINDEL
Yaakov SPINDEL
Feiga  SPINDEL
Zalman  SPINDEL

Moshe SPINDEL was the son of Gershon and Chaia SPINDEL.
This would mean that Moshe SPINDEL's parents had died before 1922 to 1924 when  their grandchildren were born .


From the Dutch Memorial book, there is Sabina SPINDEL born 1931 in Lubaczow.
During the war she was in the Netherlands. She was deported from there to Sobibor in 1943 where she was murdered. Who were her parents? 

Doing a search for SPINDEL who lived in the Netherlands, there was one Page for Golda Spindel born 1908, married to Gedaliyahu SPINDEL ( "he also died") and the mother of one child - "Sabina who died with her mother".
From the Hebrew spelling of the Golda's maiden name, it seems she was the daughter of Leibush (Arie) ROST.
