Filmmaker Rudolf Breslauer also filmed two of his children in the Westerborkfilm…
Stefan (left) & Ursula Breslauer, children of Rudolf Breslauer, the filmmaker of the Westerbork film at the farm of Camp Westerbork in 1944 – identified by the dutch photographer Sake Elzinga, who received Breslauer’s family photo albums last year when the family of Ursula – the only survivor – visited an expo on Breslauer in the Westerbork museum in the Netherlands.
Camp commander (SS-Obersturmführer) Albert Gemmeker ordered the Westerbork film , made by the German Jewish prisoner, photographer, Rudolf Breslauer in the spring of 1944.
Today 80 years ago – March 5, 1944 – the camp is an ‘Arbeitslager’ – a work camp – when Rudolf Breslauer starts filming the daily life of the Westerbork prisoners — inside : in the barracks, for example a religious service, cabaret, workshops, factories, aircraft and battery recycling, medical care, and outside the barracks : construction of a greenhouse, a football match, women working out, chopping wood, incoming transports, and eventually also the departure of a deportation train. After Breslauer films the deportation of Jews, Roma and Sinti to Bergen-Belsen and Auschwitz on May 19, 1944 the filming stops. The haunting image of the 9-year-old dutch Sinti-girl Settela, standing in the closing doors of the goods train, and the unique footage of that deportation train that leaves the Westerbork camp, became iconic after the war.
Deportation Breslauer family
Werner Rudolf Breslauer , his wife Bella Weihsmann, sons Stefan and Max Michael (Mischa), and daughter Ursula were deported autumn 1944 from Westerbork to Theresienstadt and Auschwitz. Only Ursula survived.

Zoom in 16x at Grey heron – Ardea Cinerea – in the woods , Green Heart of Holland. Testing the April 2012 bought Sony DSC HX9V (for use by others perhaps) – never used this ‘new’ camera all those years. The heron’s partner isn’t in the frame , because I tested a combined ‘easy’ photo/video mode (intelligent Auto)…which introduces black bars top/bottom the moment video recording is started.
I am used to using the video only mode on Somny cameras…then this problem doesn’t happen.
Nice camera for the 2010s because of the progressive video recording .. a novelty those days.
Here mp4 (1440x1080p) video, which seems equivalent with the AVCHD (1920x1080p) mode that requires 2x the data , and AVCHD requires special software to convert (a video editing app) before the video is available outside the camera.
