Hartog Levie (Harrie) van Leeuwen was married, but his wife died in 1939 when their child was barely one year old. Harrie was the director of the company H.L. van Leeuwen N.V. On 9 August 1941 the Germans forced him to abandon his business. Harrie van Leeuwen tried to escape by travelling south, but he was arrested just before the Belgian border and taken to Den Bosch. Later he was arrested together with his child in Breda. Thanks to the efforts of a representative of the Jewish Council in that city, the child’s maternal grandfather was able to remove it to safety. When Harrie’s in-laws came to bid him farewell at Den Bosch railway station, he was optimistic and expected to be back in a few months’ time.
