    The Jewish orphanage in Leiden opened in 1929 and was run by one of the Schaaps who died in the mid-1930s. Her husband is pictured in the group portrait in RG-60.1516. Those who lived at the orphanage were the last Jews to be deported from Leiden on March 17, 1943. Leiden police officers and the 'Grüne Polizei' deported 51 children and nine members of staff from the Jewish orphanage to Westerbork and on to concentration camps, where all but four died.
