Who was Moshe Flinker?

Moshe Ze'ev Flinker (Maurice Wolf Flinker) was a Jewish youth born in the Hague on October 9, 1926 and killed in Auschwitz by the Nazi Regime in 1944. He was the son of Noah Eliezer Flinker of Poland, who had migrated to Holland and subsequently become a wealthy businessman. Following the 1940 Battle of the Netherlands, the family left the Hague for Belgium to evade Nazi rule and the rounding up of Jews by the Gestapo. The Flinkers stayed in Brussels, Belgium until their arrest in 1944. Moshe and his parents were deported to Auschwitz and murdered there.
