Koenraad Gezang

Poor sweetheart.

Tragic , precious soul, sits in the palm of God.

Sad

This little face is so haunting ,, We should all try to remind ourselves of his face when we let hatred come in our heart

R I P...Sweet innocent child.

Heartbreaking...

When will humans learn what their hate has done?

Jehovah God remembers him. (John 5:28,29)

Koenraad Huib Gezang

Born on 29 January 1942 in The Hague, Holland. He was deported to Sobibor together with other Jewish children from the Amsterdam children’s home “De Creche”, opposite to the “Joodsche Schouwburg”. Children under 12, after being rounded up, were taken to “De Creche”.
On 16 October 1942 an 8 months old boy with no specific marks was exposed in front of the house Duinwijckweg 1 in Bloemendaal, 25 km west of Amsterdam. According to the Dutch law the child was registered Van Duinwijck as his 'family'-name, and after Hector
Malot's novel it was given Remi as first name. Foundlings in those days were supposed to be Jewish and so was Remi, after Lodewijk Strak, NSB- and SS member and alderman of Amsterdam, stated the child had Jewish ears. Remi was taken to "De Chrèche", opposite to the "Joodsche Schouwburg", where all Jewish children under 12 were taken after being rounded up. Because of all attention the baby received there, it was not possible for Dutch underground members to smuggle him out and into hiding. Remi was deported to Westerbork and from there to Sobibor, where he perished on 21 May 1943.

After the war it became known that his real name had been Koenraad Huib Gezang, born in The Hague, on 29 January 1942. His mother, Florence Gezang nee Goudeket, had also perished in Sobibor, on 9 April 1943, six weeks before her son."

Thata sad

Some souls just don't get a chance. Thank you for posting this - while he didn't have an opportunity to do much in his short life, having this image and his story shows he has not been forgotten.

So sad humans are the cruelest creatures on earth.

Rot in hell Hitler!

Very little information and vague statements...

So sad but we know he is in heaven.

UNLIKE.

So cute!!

Oooh if I could have been around back then I'd take all those babies to safety!! So sad. I wish they could have hid his records so he could have lived. So many little ones gone so tragically. So many adults too. But it's the children I have the worst trouble hearing about.

Poor poor little baby boy he was beautiful

Sad what hate does.

This is so sad

Having been to the national holocaust museum, I will never forget the feeling of such sadness for these precious souls. They have one exhibit that is a room, full of just shoes, from those that sadly lost their lives.

POOR LITTLE BOY...

So sad. Rest in peace.

Beautiful boy. :'( Observe the hate and intolerance rising in the USA. Those who forget history are destined to repeat it.

This is heart wrenching.

Breaks my heart

Lord make an.instrument of thy peace!

Poor little boy. I hope he returned quickly.

He was sooooo cute, so very sad!!

That face.😢

So sad!!😢 his eyes are so haunting they get to me !! They've see a lot in in short little life.. may he Rest In Peace! We must never forget!!

Beautiful child, just a few months older than me, of course I have had the luxury of a long life that he was denied. Such a travesty, even the children were not spared.

Heartbreaking.

You got wasted because he was Jewish that's what those Nazis did not surprising they killed thousands of little kids

Very sad for all who lost their lives to the hands of a mad man and the people who carryout his orders.

Heart.is.broken😢

Human mind,ego n power is deadly cocktail.it was there,is there n will remain there.bec humans r basically originated from animals n hv traits hidden deep.when situation arises,u see their real nature

little angel

That is a soulful look. Probably has a long story to tell at such a young age. Reminds me of myself. Wont say what i am thinking next but our govt set up does not always work to protect all even innocent babes.

He looks like my son . It so heartbreaking , shame on the mankind..😰 Rott in Hell Hitler!!

Despicable! And here the world is dicing with hate and Nazism again ! WHAT is wrong with people ?

Hopefully one day, the holocaust hoax will be exposed for all the world to see. In the meantime, I'll have to put up with more posts of supposed victims of this fairytale.

We need to get angry with this people , we cannot let this happen again !

Oh blessed Lord. My heart is breaking.

Sweet looking baby and may he never be forgotten even his short time on earth. How can anyone purposely hurt an innocent child? Will never understand that. :( God Bless this lil soul...

All those children including that little boy were innocent and never deserved the treatment they had. :'( Rest in Heaven with the angels, little guy

If I went in that time, I wouldn’t be afraid to hide this little boy-even though it might be risky. No matter how many attention he receives-I would’ve cared about his life being in jeapordy and trying to protect him- but yes I know that would be impossible.

Rest in heaven.

I know it’s hard to view Natalie. Anger & hatred is what led to tragic situations like this. To ignore the past seeds the future with the ability to happen again.

I so agree, we need these reminders!

Tracy J. Thurman it's the single worst and saddest event on this planet. No one will forget it.

There are people who deny it ever happened.

Erin Kuchinsky those people are idiots.

Yes they are Natalie!! But yes i have heard of people that deny it happened!!

I agree Teri Miller!!!

If everyone had the approach that they didn't want to see it, or refused to look at these types of pictures or articles, then it would not take more than a generation to erase the history. It is the responsibility of decent human beings to view and acknowledge atrocities to keep them from happening again.

Julie Campbell Bradley I never said it should be buried or not ever mentioned.

You shouldn't have clicked the link then. You pissed yourself off.
