Although the Compart family is more a family of Schleusingen and Berlin than it is of Themar, we know that the family lived in Themar for three to four years in the late 1870s and early 1880s. Many family members then moved to Berlin.
We were able to reassemble the outline of the family from 1866 to 1988 from various sources: First is the outline above in the entry in the Matrikel/Register of the Jewish family of Carl and Ida Compart, and eight children. Dr. Kerstin Möhring’s research on the Jewish families of Schleusingen provided data of the birth of family members in Schleusingen between 1866 and 1877. A few records in the City of Themar Archives about Alfred Compart, b. 1881 in Themar, as well as records from other sources, particularly Berlin archives, added pieces to the puzzle.
Contact with family members in 2021 has given us new insight into many of the family members.

“That I first saw the name of Asterdorp was when I read a record, which is part of the archives of the Hausraterfassungsstelle, which was a department of the Zentralstelle für Jüdische Auswanderung in Amsterdam. In the piece it says that the family of Nathan Norbert Stiebel, “Evakuieren am June 23 nach Asterdorp“. The record in question is an inventory of the contents of their property at the Achillesstraat 43, Amsterdam, written on 15-06-1942, by Mrs. Ingenbleek and Gros of the Hausraterfassungsstelle. The confiscated furniture was intended for members and relatives of the NSDAP and related organizations, but later, much of the confiscated furniture went to German families who were victims of the many bombings by the allies. Many of the stolen furniture disappeared to the employees and relatives of the HES.
Police-report about Nathan Stiebel concerning his arrest |
“On 23-05-1933, the family of Nathan Norbert Stiebel were registered in the population registry of the city of Amsterdam. They came from Berlin. Nathan is registered as a merchant and his wife, Lieselotte Compart, as a fur worker. They were married on 16-12-1931 in Berlin and have 2 children; Werner Leopold (born 01-05-1934 in Amsterdam) and Ruth Ida (born 11-01-1938 in Amsterdam). After a number of addresses in Amsterdam, they lived from 30-06-1936 on at the address 43 Achilles Street in Amsterdam.
On 15-06-1942, a list is made up of the contents of the house of the family on the Stiebel Achillesstraat 43 home by 2 men of the HES. Topping the list it says that the family will be ‘evacuated’ on June 23 to Asterdorp. According to the archive card of Nathan in the City Archives this eventually happened on 07-08-1942. On that date the family moved to the Edelweisstraat 126 in Asterdorp.
On 20-08-1942, at 08:20 pm, Nathan is arrested by the SD because he had no Star of David on his jacket while walking on the street. He is put in a cell at the police station and is available from the Office of Jewish Affairs. On Friday, 21-08-1942, at 09:00 he is taken for interrogation to the Office Jewish Affairs. At 09:35 hours, Nathan returned to the police headquarters to be in custody, again to be sent to the 11th Bureau, also called Office Jewish Affairs. At 16:30 pm, Nathan along with 7 others was transferred to the SD.
Shortly after, the whole family was deported. Via Westerbork to Auschwitz where Lieselotte and the two children are killed on 01-10-1942. Nathan was killed on 31-01-1943.
