Sigmund Family Memorial

Lotte Sigmund
To date, no photos of Lotte and Kurt Sigmund have been found. In the house of the De Nooij couple on Hooftlaan in Bussum, where the Sigmund family lived, there was always a photo showing the Sigmund family. Next to it stood a photo with only Lotte and Kurt. Unfortunately, this photos have not been preserved.
Contact tracing involving many names in Lotte's poetry album has also yielded no results.

The only things that remain of Lotte are her handwritten name on a notebook, in her poetry album and in that of a friend, and her name under a few letters she wrote just before she was arrested and deported to Auschwitz.
