Ursula stern, recalled in her post testimony the following: "My Parents hiding place was discovered and they were deported to Auschwitz where they died. When our hiding place was discovered, I was sent to Utrecht prison, from there we were transferred to Amstelveen and, finally to Camp Vught where we suffered a lot from repetitive roll calls. Later we were transferred to Westerbork, the gathering place of Dutch Jews, and we remained there for one week. In April 1943, we left for Poland, this journey was dreadful. 

When we reached Sobibor a selection took place: young girls were placed on the side and the others, including children, were immediately send to the gas chambers. We were given postcards. "Write to your families that you have arrived safely". I wrote a card to some Dutch friends, it reached its destination, and I found it after the war. 

Sobibor was hell.

Selma Wijnberg, the other known survivor from this transport recalled: In 1942, I was arrested with my family and interned in Westerbork. We were 8,000 prisoners, and the German officers announced that were going to work in Poland or the Ukraine, and we were to take with us our shoes, clothes. Letters were arriving from Wladowa, confirming that life was pleasant in Poland. Later I knew it was a lie, as the prisoners were forced to sign printed postcards.

A letter from Levie Sluijzer also remained. He did not survive Sobibor, but wrote about the long travel by train from Westerbork to Sobibor and hid his letter in the cattle car where it was retrieved when the train returned to Westerbork for transport #7.

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.
